Kamala Harris now holds the office of U.S. Vice President.  If Joe Biden resigns (or is removed) after two years and a day in office, Kamala Harris could potentially serve 2½terms as President.  This page includes some recent news and commentary about her.

Appended 9/2/2021:
There are lots of people who should be ashamed that Joe Biden hasn't already been removed from office.  The one person who should be most ashamed is Kamala Harris.  The prospect of Kamala Harris becoming the U.S. President is so abhorrent to the leaders of both parties that the senile, incompetent puppet Joe Biden is safe.

'Souls to the polls': Virginia churches to air pro-McAuliffe ads featuring Kamala Harris.  Hundreds of churches across Virginia are set to air a political ad starring Vice President Kamala Harris — a move that has raised eyebrows regarding the legality of bringing political campaigns into houses of worship.  Between Oct. 17 and Nov. 2, a video featuring Harris will play during the morning services of over 300 black churches across Virginia.  In the video, Harris encourages viewers to vote for gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe in the upcoming election, according to CNN.

Kamala makes pro-McAuliffe video to be illegally played in over 300 Black churches in Virginia.  [Scroll down]  This will stop only when some Black churches lose their tax-exempt status for partisan campiagn activities.  How likely is Lois Lerner's successor to care about enforcing this law?  In today's racial climate, enforcing the law that would be called racist and denounced as "violence" — to be countered by real violence, most likely.

What separation?  Hundreds of 'black churches' to be shown VP Harris video urging a vote for McAuliffe.  More than 300 "black churches" in Virginia will be shown a video featuring Vice President Kamala Harris urging members to vote for Democratic gubernatorial candidate and former governor Terry McAuliffe ahead of the Nov. 2 election in a presentation some have suggested is unconstitutional and illegal.  The video was "first obtained by CNN" and included in a tweet posted by one of the network's national correspondents, Eva McKend. [...] The video opens with Harris claiming to have sung in a church choir when she was growing up in California while equating that with speaking out politically and voting.

Kamala Harris Appears in Law-Breaking Video Because Nothing Matters Anymore.  When it comes to politics, nothing matters anymore.  At least, that's true as long as you are a Democrat, and Kamala Harris illustrated that perfectly yesterday with the release of a law-breaking video.  In it, she clearly endorses Terry McAuliffe to be Virginia's next governor, which is technically allowed for the vice president because she's exempt from the Hatch Act.  Yet, it's where the video is going to be played that should lead to legal consequences.  Of course, the keyword there is "should" because we all know nothing is going to happen here.  [Video clip]

Kamala Harris endorsement of Terry McAuliffe to air in more than 300 black churches in Virginia.  An unusually brazen violation of the Johnson Amendment starring the second-highest official in the land.  If Harris had limited her comments below to encouraging viewers to vote without specifying whom they should vote for, the churches airing the video would be within the law.  Tax-exempt nonprofits are permitted to engage in "activities intended to encourage people to participate in the electoral process, such as voter registration and get-out-the-vote drives," according to the IRS — so long as those activities are conducted in a non-partisan way.  When they aren't, the law is clear: "[V]oter education or registration activities with evidence of bias that (a) would favor one candidate over another; (b) oppose a candidate in some manner; or (c) have the effect of favoring a candidate or group of candidates, will constitute prohibited participation or intervention." Churches that air this video should lose their exempt status over it.  They won't, but they should.

Kamala Harris Records Video to Be Played at Over 300 Black Churches Calling on Worshippers to Vote for Democrat.  Kamala Harris recorded a video to be played at over 300 Black churches across Virginia urging worshipers to vote for Democrat gubernatorial candidate former Governor Terry McAuliffe, who is caught in an unexpectedly tight race with the Republican candidate, businessman Glenn Youngkin.  Recent polls show the race a dead heat with each having leads inside the margin of error.  Harris calls on churchgoers to vote for McAuliffe after church.  CNN posted a copy of the video in two parts.  [Video clips]  This year is the first that Virginians can vote on Sundays, making it easier for Democrats to do their traditional 'Souls to the Polls' voter drive at Black churches.

Imagine the press coverage if Donald Trump made political campaign speeches at 300 all-white churches.  What label would be applied to Mr. Trump?

Scandals from top to bottom in Joe Biden's cabinet of horrors.  Put in charge of the border crisis, [Kamala] Harris quickly clarified that she would concentrate on "root causes," not the border itself.  After a cursory trip to Guatemala and Mexico, Harris has declared victory and moved on even as a record number of illegal immigrants cross into the US. Even more caravans are headed our way after the US waved in thousands of Haitians.  Meanwhile, Harris has gone into hiding, barely making public appearances as her favorables have tanked.

Kamala Harris used child actors in her space video.  Vice President Kamala Harris's YouTube space series featured child actors in its first installment.  The YouTube Original Series, entitled "Get Curious with Vice President Harris," is aimed at getting children interested in space and included an appearance by NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough from the International Space Station.  But the children featured in the first installment of the series were child actors, including 13-year-old Trevor Bernardino. [...] The kid actors appear to be genuinely excited, and Harris seems to be revealing something to them that they don't already know.  The kids are relentlessly ebullient throughout the video.

The ship's sinking, all right.  [W]hile the border, which [Vice President] Harris is supposed to be overseeing, is in chaos, she instead was wasting her time and ours by putting out an awful "Get Curious" video designed to promote teenage interest in space exploration — but, more importantly, to push [Harris]'s own fading brand into the public eye to prop up her diminishing credibility.  The video was put together by not an American company, but instead a Canadian company despite the fact that Biden's own Build Back Better schemes supposedly emphasize full employment via domestic production.  And to make matters even more embarrassing, the very name of the company reflects the rapidly plummeting fortunes of both the Harris and the crumbling Biden administration.  Here is the company logo — 'nuff said!

Kamala Harris Uses Child Actors in Video to Promote NASA.  Vice President Kamala Harris is starting a new series of videos on YouTube aimed at promoting NASA to children, but was found to have used child actors in its very first video instead of regular children, Fox News reports. [...] Despite being actors, the children pretended to be as amazed by the presentation as regular children would have been.  The video features a virtual meeting between the children and NASA astronaut Shane Kimbrough, who is currently stationed in the International Space Station.  Through the Zoom call, Kimbrough led the child actors on a "scavenger hunt" for components to build a telescope, before the actors then got to meet Harris at the Naval Observatory.

Kamala Harris's NASA video featured child actors.  The first installment of Vice President Kamala Harris's YouTube Originals space series featured child actors who auditioned for their roles in the project.  Trevor Bernardino, a 13-year-old actor from Carmel, California, and one of five teenagers featured in the video, was asked to submit a monologue discussing something he is passionate about and three questions for a world leader, according to an interview with KSBW TV.  Trevor then interviewed with the production director. [...] Filmed in August and released during World Space Week, the video shows a group of children meeting with Harris at her residence, the Naval Observatory, where she introduces herself as the chairwoman of the National Space Council.

Kamala Harris Hired Child Actors For Rebranding Effort That Failed.  The Washington Examiner dug a little deeper into the background of the Kamala Harris cringe video.  Apparently, team Harris hired child actors to help create the illusion for her rebranding effort.  There are many details in the report that represent just how artificial and fake the Biden administration is. [...] A fake stage set for Joe Biden to pretend he's giving discussions from the White House.  A group of kids hired by the White House to play the role of kids for a Kamala Harris propaganda effort.  Well, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see just how fake this entire effort is as constructed.

Child Actor Spills Details About Working on Kamala Harris' NASA Videos.  A child actor from Monterey, California outed Vice President Kamala Harris over the weekend for paying him and other child performers to appear with her in a series of YouTube videos about space.  The revelation emerged through Trevor Bernardino, a 13-year-old freshman high school student, who told local television station KSBW that he snagged the job through an anonymous interview process, and that he was summoned to Washington, D.C. before he learned his employer's identity.  "Me, my mom, dad, we were speculating who could be this important that we meet them in D.C. and we get to go on cool trip and film," Bernardino volunteered in an interview, noting the performance was filmed at the vice president's residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory.

As Afghanistan was going down in flames, Kamala Harris was making her space videos ... with child actors.  Is there any level of phoniness Kamala Harris can't demonstrate?  Back when Joe Biden had disappeared during Afghanistan's collapse and was refusing to take phone calls from British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Harris had a golden opportunity to step in and show leadership.  But she had better things to do.  What was she doing as Joe Biden went AWOL?  Cocooning into her comfort zone, which was engaging in selfies and public relations.  While Afghanistan was collapsing into terror and Americans were trapped behind enemy lines in chaos, she was busy making at least three space videos with five seemingly eager children, all produced by a Canadian video company called "Sinking Ship Entertainment."

Harris Skips Meeting With Mexican Officials to Go Politicking in New Jersey.  Joe Biden named Vice President Kamala Harris last March as his point person in the administration to address "challenges" at the southern border and to work with other Central American nations to address the "root causes" of the problem of illegal immigration.  That was the official line, anyway.  Actually, Biden put Harris out in front of border security because whoever was going to lead the effort to halt the flow of refugees at the border was going to fail.  Biden didn't want anything to do with the matter.  As it turns out, neither does Harris.  She didn't even visit the border until June and that was only after the mainstream media began to wonder why the administration's point person on the border crisis wasn't visiting, like, you know... the border.  She checked that box off her to-do list and went on with her other duties as vice president.

Has the White House dumped Kamala?  As Joe Biden's public approval tanks in the polls, his sidekick Kamala Harris is also looking pretty wretched.  She underwent 'repackaging' from swamp consultants who specialize in "crisis messaging," to very miserable results as she posed for videos with kids, coming off phonier than ever.  And more important, she may have been frozen out of all serious decision-making as an obviously giggling lightweight.

Vice President Harris Visits Day Care in NJ While Biden Officials Discuss Border with Mexico.  While several high-ranking officials from the Biden administration met with Mexican government dignitaries to discuss the crisis at the southern border, the de facto manager of the migrant crisis, Vice President Kamala Harris, visited a daycare in New Jersey.  Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas all attended the meeting in Mexico City on October 8. [...] Harris, who has been to the border once in her tenure as vice president, visited a daycare in Little Falls, New Jersey, and a vaccine site in Newark instead of attending the meeting.

She did him a huge favor.
Border czar Kamala skips crisis meeting with Mexican president to visit a daycare center and bakery in NJ.  Border czar Kamala Harris skipped a high-level meeting with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador Friday [10/8/2021] to discuss the migrant crisis at the US's southern border — to visit a daycare center in New Jersey instead.  The vice president, who was put in charge of tackling the border crisis by Joe Biden back in March, delegated the thorny meeting in Mexico's capital to US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.  Blinken was joined by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and US Attorney General Merrick Garland and US Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar in efforts to mend America's fractious ties with Mexico.

Kamala Harris gets 'repackaged' and now looks cringier than ever.  Two weeks ago, Kamala Harris hired a "crisis communications expert," to create a new image for her.  She needed a "rebranding" it seems, to paper over her failures.  Her stints as border surge czar and voting czar weren't going over well with the public.  Her staff flight and toxic work environment continued her downward trajectory. [...] Kamala Harris hasn't done her homework.  She's Joe Biden's space czar and she had nothing intelligent to tell the kids about space.  She spoke stupidly to them in part because she doesn't know much of anything about space.  Like the border, and the election-rigging "reform" she volunteered for, she really knows nothing about her topic.  What she knows about are Vogue photo shoots, Instagram pictures, taking bows as the "first" black and Asian and woman vice president.  She doesn't know anything about governing.  She's all about public relations.  And now it's come back to bite her.

And Jews Will Still Vote Democrat.  There is almost nothing Democrats can do to damage America, or Israel, that would change most American Jews' political leanings.  The latest example took place just last week.  A college student speaking to the vice president of the United States, a Democrat, condemned America for supporting Israel, and charged Israel with committing "ethnic genocide" against Palestinians.  Harris's response?  "Your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth cannot be suppressed, and it must be heard."  It was indeed the student's truth — which means it was a lie.  "Your truth" always means "a lie."  When a person says something that is true, people don't say, "that is your truth."  They say, "that's true."  And indeed, what the girl said to the vice president was a complete lie.

Kamala's Secret Trip:  Reporters Banned From Covering Departure.  [Kamala Harris] she raised some more eyebrows on Friday [10/1/2021], when she took a mysterious trip out of town to the Palm Springs, California — the well-known resort area.  Neither the White House or Harris' office would explain why she was going to Palm Springs; all they said was that she would remain overnight and return today.  She didn't have any public events scheduled for the trip.  According to the Washington Times, local officials said they weren't expected to meet with her; so it wasn't connected to any local Democratic activity, it would appear. [...] In another bit of non-transparent oddity, reporters weren't even allowed to watch her departure from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, which makes me wonder if there was someone going with her that they didn't want anyone to see. [...] It's also an indication that she takes climate change very seriously, when she takes a plane for an overnight which is not — apparently — a declarable work-related trip.

Kamala Harris takes private, one-night trip to California as Capitol Hill talks peak.  Vice President Kamala Harris was making an unexplained private trip Friday [10/1/2021] to the resort town of Palm Springs, California, as Democrats in Congress sought to complete President Biden's economic agenda.  The White House and Ms. Harris' office wouldn't give a reason for the one-night trip, which began on Friday afternoon with her departure from Joint Base Andrews near Washington.  Reporters were not allowed to watch her departure.  "The vice president will remain overnight in Palm Springs and return to Washington, D.C., on Saturday," the White House said.  Ms. Harris has no public events scheduled for the visit.  Local Democratic officials in southern California told news outlets that they were not expecting to meet with the Vice President.

Democrats plan to resurrect Kamala Harris's reputation.  Kamala's lack of national viability made itself known during the Democrat primaries in 2019 when Harris dropped out without even breaking the 4% barrier in the polls and with zero delegates.  Biden presumably picked Harris as his running mate for three reasons:  She was black-ish; she's female; and, most importantly, she wouldn't outshine Biden and might be an insurance policy against efforts to oust him under the 25th Amendment.  Since she's been in office, Kamala has been a disaster. [...] This wasn't helped by the fact that Kamala was mostly window dressing, standing behind Joe, wearing her little mask, like Death waiting for a turn.  In March, as Biden's disastrous open border policy began to take shape, he appointed Kamala his "border czar."  And again, there was a push to resurrect her reputation.  Kamala showed unusual initiative by ignoring the border and focusing on renovating the Veep's mansion.

Kamala Harris applauds student, who accused Israel of 'ethnic genocide,' for speaking 'your truth'.  Vice President Kamala Harris nodded while a student accused Israel of ethnic genocide and then responded by saying the student's "truth should not be suppressed."  After speaking at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, to commemorate National Voter Registration Day on Tuesday [9/28/2021], Harris took questions from the audience.  That's when a female student raised questions about the money the U.S. is providing to Israel and Saudi Arabia.

Kamala Harris nods, lauds student accusing Israel of 'ethnic genocide' for speaking her truth.  It's not like key members of the Biden administration go out of the way to hide their hard-left views on most issues, but every once in a while the extreme nature of their beliefs shines through for all to see.  Nowhere is this more apparent than with Israel, as seen Tuesday [9/28/2021] when Vice President Kamala Harris visited George Mason University in northern Virginia to mark National Voter Registration Day.  After addressing a class, the vice president took questions from students and praised a student who accused Israel of committing "ethnic genocide," telling her that "your truth should not be suppressed."  The student identified herself as "part-Yemeni, part-Iranian" and said that "a lot of taxpayer money is allocated for funding the military, whether it's in backing Saudi Arabia or in Palestine," according to the New York Post.

Here's How We Know KamalaWorld Is in Full Crisis Mode.  Even with the predictable media fawning we've seen over her since Joe Biden picked her as his running mate last summer, Vice President Kamala Harris still cannot escape from some of the less than flattering coverage she's received in her first nine months in office regarding her disastrous handling of the border crisis, the rampant stories on how she's difficult to work with and has trouble retaining staff, and her skewed priorities.  With her polling numbers tanking and with the bad press continuing into the fall, it would appear that Harris has finally conceded that her office is in crisis mode.  As a result, she made two hires last month — with one being a crisis communications expert.

Nepotism 101: Kamala Harris hires key advisers to help with dismal ratings, Jen Psaki's brother-in-law tops list.  Thanks to Vice President Kamala Harris's latest hiring decision, yet another member of the Psaki family now works within the Biden administration.  The Washington Post reported Friday that of the two individuals recently hired by Harris as senior advisers, one of them, Adam Frankel, has familial ties to White House press secretary Jen Psaki.  "Frankel is married to Stephanie Psaki, a senior adviser at the Department of Health and Human Services and the sister of White House press secretary Jen Psaki," according to the Post.

Kamala Harris hires Jen Psaki's brother-in-law as adviser to help her through border crisis and keep her presidential aspirations alive.  Vice President Kamala Harris has expanded her team with new senior advisors, including the brother-in-law of White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, as she faces public relations challenges over the border crisis.  Harris in recent months hired Lorraine Voles and Adam Frankel, both of whom worked with her transition team, to assist with 'organizational development, strategic communications and long-term planning,' a White House official told the Washington Post.  Frankel, who worked as a speechwriter for former President Barack Obama, is married to Psaki's sister Stephanie Psaki, a senior adviser at the Department of Health and Human Services.

MSNBC Anchor Slams Kamala Harris' Border Negligence.  When President Joe Biden announced that VP Kamala Harris would be the de facto Border Czar several months ago, the statement came with the sort of gusto that had Americans wondering if something really would change.  The sentiment was that if the Vice President was being called to action, there'd be no messing around. [...] Harris first refused to address the humanitarian crisis on the border head-on, insisting that her strategy would be to focus on climate change, citing that as a "root cause" of illegal immigration.  Then even after repeated cries for her to help, it took over three months for Harris to even visit the border.  She went to El Paso right on Texas' Western tip, with a much quieter border situation.  It has one distinguishing feature that makes it different from Rio Grande Valley — El Paso has a border wall.  When she claimed to have gone to the border, the crisis hot spot was McAllen, Texas — 791 miles away.  The hottest site lately is Del Rio, Texas — 425 miles away from where Kamala visited.

Even the liberal press is starting to wonder where Vice President Kamala Harris is.  As the border crisis reemerges as an issue, despite the Biden administration's attempts to distract the public, even the liberal press is starting to wonder where Vice President Kamala Harris is.  You know, the person President Joe Biden appointed as the leader on solving the border crisis, saying that "I can think of nobody who is better qualified to do this."  Harris made it clear this week why the administration is keeping her locked away in the basement.  In a rare instance of her answering questions from the press, she took the opportunity to attack border agents.  Not because of anything they actually did.  But because of a false story circulating on Twitter that claimed border agents were whipping Haitians huddled under a bridge in Texas.

Kamala Harris Wants Biden Administration Investigated for Failed Border Policies She is in Charge of.  It might sound like a weird headline, but the currently installed occupant of the White House specifically put Kamala Harris in charge of the southern border issues.  After several months of doing nothing, likely coordinating with the Obama crew that operates almost exclusively in her background, Kamala Harris pokes her head out of her bunker today and demands an investigation into issues at the border she personally is supposed to be in charge of.  Not surprisingly, the ideological media who travel with her don't even recognize the stupidity of what the appointed border czar Harris just said.

Border Agents [are] Furious After What Kamala Harris Said About Them.  Border Patrol agents who were insulted by Vice President Kamala Harris following erroneous reporting from the establishment media have fired back to defend themselves, with one of them calling those who run our country — people such as Harris — "idiots."  Leftist Democrats and corporate media liars don't know an awful lot about rural life, law enforcement or horses, among other things which are so common for many Americans.  They certainly, most of them anyway, don't know anything about corralling a horse with reins in a high-stress situation.  Naturally, when these people saw viral images of Border Patrol agents on horseback on Monday, they arrived at the absolute worst conclusion possible:  Cops were out in the desert whipping Haitian migrants.

The whips and scorns of Del Rio, Texas.  [Scroll down]  Actually, the Border Protection officers didn't have whips, let alone crack any.  If there were any pictures of that happening, I feel sure we would have seen them.  Nor did the officers use lariats.  What were clearly pictured in their hands were horses' reins.  Mounted guards used their horses, as mounted police traditionally do — it's what the horses are for — to move swiftly back and forth in front of the Haitian influx to keep migrants from coming ashore.  One guard swung the end of his reins round and round to deter a migrant from coming closer or attempting to dodge past the police line and into the country.  He made no attempt to whip the man.  If he had, one suspects that he would have managed it.  But the fellow was untouched.  When another migrant broke through, an officer (perhaps the same one) chased him down on horseback and grabbed him by the shirt, having first let go of the rein (not whip or lariat), which clearly dangled free and harmless.

'She Was Supposed To Be In Charge': MSNBC Anchor Tears Into 'Border Czar' Kamala Harris.  MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle slammed Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday for neglecting her duty as "border czar" during the ongoing crisis at the southern border.  "How about the message from our vice president, where is she?  She was supposed to be in charge of all of these migration issues, going to those Northern Triangle countries that's obviously not Haiti, that was one of her first international trips with the message do not come here illegally," Ruhle said on MSNBC.  "People aren't listening.  What is she saying now?" she added.

She's not troubled by thousands of Haitians being mysteriously shipped to Del Rio, illegally entering the U.S., or setting up a squalid tent city.
Harris 'deeply troubled' by treatment of Haitian migrants.  Vice President Harris on Tuesday condemned the treatment of Haitian migrants at the southern border after images circulated appearing to show Border Patrol agents on horseback grabbing individuals seeking to enter the U.S.  "What I saw depicted, those individuals on horseback treating human beings the way they were was horrible," Harris told reporters after an event to promote the White House's economic agenda.  "I fully support what is happening right now, which is a thorough investigation into what is going on there.  But human beings should never be treated that way, and I'm deeply troubled about it," she said.

Kamala Harris Slated To Make Appearance At 'The View' Studio, But Not The Southern Border.  Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to make her first appearance on "The View" Friday, with no immediate plans to visit the U.S.-Mexico border amid the ongoing migrant crisis.  Harris is expected to join hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro to discuss current issues connected to the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccinations, Afghanistan, immigration and voting rights, according to ABC News.  The vice president has not arranged for a visit to the southern border at the time of publication, as over 10,000 migrants, mostly Haitians, have migrated to the U.S. and have resided in makeshift shelters under the Del Rio International Bridge in recent days.  The migrants have continued to endure overcrowded and unsanitary conditions with a lack of food, water, or proper bathroom facilities.

Is This Why Kamala Was AWOL When Biden Addressed the Collapse of Afghanistan?  [Scroll down]  By August, the Taliban rolled into Kabul.  [now-ex-Afghan President Ashraf] Ghani fled.  Our 20-year venture in the country ended as it started, with the Taliban back in control.  Yet, it also came with one of the most shameful and disgraceful exits because Joe Biden isn't a leader.  He's too old, too stupid, and way too slow to keep up with the pace of the job.  Folks, Biden, Secretary of State Blinken, and Press Secretary Jen Psaki were all on vacation when Kabul fell — and all seemed content for at least 36 hours to not even address the country about it.  Americans were trapped in a terrorist hell hole, and they weren't going to say anything until they were well-rested.  Also, there are still Americans stranded in Afghanistan.  So, when this fiasco was going full bore, where [...] was Kamala Harris?  I ask because she was a key player in all of this.  She was in the room for the grand exit talks from Afghanistan and then she went into the bunker.  What is it with this administration and hiding?  She was the "last person in the room" reportedly.  Where [...] did she go?

Wait: Isn't Kamala In Charge Of This Mess?  And now this weekend traffic and weather update from Del Rio,TX:  [Video clip]  Expect long delays as traffic backs up at the International Bridge due to deconstruction on the American side.  There should be a deluge of Haitians with widely scattered Mexicans and a few gusts of terrorists throughout the weekend.  The extended outlook calls for more of the same with inevitable flooding and no relief in sight.  Despite this fact the Federal Government is not expected to declare the area a disaster zone.  When contacted, a spokesmouth for the Administration commented that the visitors were behaving better than the insurrectionists of 1/6, noting that it appeared they were all lining up in an orderly fashion to present themselves to border guards as required prior to entering the already deluged country.

The Unsung Death of 'My Body, My Choice'.  As late as 3:43 p.m. on Thursday, September 9, the long-lived mantra of the pro-abortion movement, "My Body, My Choice," was still showing signs of life.  It was at that time, that the White House published the remarks made by Vice-President Kamala Harris at a "Reproductive Rights" roundtable. [...] "And, needless to say," Harris continued much too quotably, "the right of women to make decisions about their own bodies is not negotiable.  The right of women to make decisions about their own bodies is their decision; it is their body."  So far is Harris out of the White House power loop that she may not have known the mantra had less than two hours to live.  Although clearly on the defensive, Harris was targeting the wrong enemy at the White House roundtable.  She thought the threat to "My Body, My Choice" came from those rascally Republicans in Texas that had passed the Texas Heartbeat Act.

Kamala Harris questioned after announcing steps for 'protecting the vaccinated': 'Doesn't the vax do that?'  Vice President Kamala Harris raised eyebrows on Sunday with her tweet urging Americans to help protect already vaccinated people in order to end the COVID-19 pandemic.  "By vaccinating the unvaccinated, increasing our testing and masking, and protecting the vaccinated, we can end this pandemic.  That's exactly what we are committed to doing," Harris tweeted.  There has been widespread confusion over vaccine rhetoric from the Biden administration, as a push to protect the vaccinated has become a common talking point, despite the vaccines already providing strong protection for those who've gotten them.

Harris holds double standard on abortions and vaccinations.  Kamala Harris delivered remarks on personal rights on abortions during a women's reproductive rights roundtable, but failed to link the point to the issue of vaccinations.  According to Harris, abortion was a right protected by the Constitution.  Harris went on to say, "you have been leading on an issue that represents the voices of so many who deserve to be heard, deserve to be seen, and whose rights must be protected, and in particular, their constitutional rights and the right to dignity in making their own choices about their personal healthcare.

What about vaccine mandates?
Kamala Harris on Pro-Life Texas Law:  U.S. Stronger When People Make Health Choices 'Without Government Interference'.  Vice President Kamala Harris unabashedly defended abortion and said the right to end the life of an unborn child is "not negotiable" during a discussion with abortion and "reproductive health providers" on Thursday [9/9/2021].  Harris met with providers from Texas, Mississippi, Kentucky, and New Mexico to discuss the impact of Texas Senate Bill 8, otherwise known as the Texas Heartbeat Act, and other laws that effectively limit abortions around the country.

Kamala Harris Celebrates Abortion With Abortionist Who Killed 67 Babies in 17 Hours.  At the White House today, Kamala Harris celebrated abortions with an abortionist who killed so many babies in a short amount of time that America's worst serial killers would blush.  Harris met with abortionists from across the country but also met with the abortionist at the abortion center in Texas that bragged about killing 67 babies in 17 hours.  Harris's guests included Bhavik Kumar, a Planned Parenthood abortionist in Houston, Texas.  The liberal media has portrayed Kumar as a hero for doing 67 abortions in one day on Aug. 31 — a record for him — before the new Texas heartbeat law went into effect on Sept. 1.  Harris spoke with abortionists and customers from Texas, Mississippi, Kentucky and New Mexico about abortion access in their states.

Kamala Harris May Want to Think Twice Before Talking about Medical Decisions to Do with One's 'Own Body.  Vice President Kamala Harris is a particularly tone-deaf person, but it seems she has been particularly bad this week.  On Thursday, the same day President Joe Biden announced particularly stringent vaccine mandates, Harris gave an impassioned address about "the rights of women to make decisions about their own bodies," calling it "not negotiable."  [Tweet]  Considering the vice president and the Biden-Harris administration overall is particularly pro-abortion, it's not entirely surprising she would repeat the "my body, my choice" line ad nauseam.  [Tweet]  Even if one were to disregard for a moment that when a woman is pregnant, she is pregnant with the body of her unborn child, Harris' comments are still hypocritical.  [Tweet]  Her own administration is infringing on people's medical decisions, and they're doing so out in the open.  In his Thursday remarks, President Biden himself even acknowledged his administration was doing so when he said that getting vaccinated or not "is not about freedom or personal choice.  It's about protecting those around you."

Unpopular Former CA Senator to Campaign for Unpopular Governor.  Speaking as a current Californian, I wouldn't treat the recall as a done deal.  Far from it.  Democrats have a huge organizational advantage that they can use to rig elections (think of the 2020 presidential race as the Californication of national elections) and a pretty big cultural advantage.  Newsom has bet that he can counter his unpopularity in the state by nationalizing the election.  It's why his ads don't tout his accomplishments.  Not only because they don't exist, but because the state machine has put all of its money on turning this into a national race so California voters don't think about what a mess the state is.  Newsom's biggest ad used to feature Elizabeth Warren decrying Texas.  A newer ad features Bernie Sanders.  Neither of them are especially pleasant, but they make Newsom seem personable by comparison.

Kamala Harris has blood on her hands.  Not in connection with Afghanistan — I doubt that she has had any influence on events there — but as a result of her support for violent crime in Minnesota.  In the wake of the George Floyd riots, Harris contributed to the Minnesota Freedom Fund and encouraged others to do so as well.  She did so on the pretext that the Freedom Fund was bailing out "demonstrators" arrested in Minnesota, but of course no one was arrested for demonstrating.  Those bailed out were arsonists, aggravated assaulters and other serious criminals.  Moreover, the Minnesota Freedom Fund didn't restrict itself to bailing out those arrested in the summer of 2020.  Rather, its efforts to inflict violent crime on Minnesotans have continued to the present day.  Last Sunday, an innocent man was murdered by a criminal who had been charged with domestic assault but was sprung by Kamala Harris's Minnesota Freedom Fund just days earlier.

Kamala Harris:  Texas Abortion Law Will Hurt 'Women of Color'.  Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday [9/1/2021] released a statement in reaction to the Texas abortion law that went into effect, asserting it will "dramatically reduce access to reproductive care" for "women of color."  She ultimately joined President Biden and other left-wing politicians in promising to fight for every woman's ability to abort her child.  "Today, a new law takes effect in Texas that directly violates the precedent established in the landmark case of Roe v. Wade.  This all-out assault on reproductive health effectively bans abortion for the nearly 7 million Texans of reproductive age," Harris said in a statement.

[#1] Perhaps the baby-killers would be happier living in Louisiana or Arkansas.  [#2] Kamala's complaint is that some women of "reproductive age" will be denied "reproductive care," even though reproduction is the last thing they want.

Will Cain: Kamala Harris [was] 'Used' On [the] Biden Ticket, [and has] Been MIA Ever Since.  "The Five" speculated about Vice President Kamala Harris' whereabouts Wednesday, with co-host Will Cain suggesting she was "used" on the Biden presidential ticket, but is now a liability to the administration.  "If I'm Kamala Harris right now, I'm extremely offended because you have been used," he said.  "They used you to pander to a voting base to get votes.  They had a minority, they had a woman and now that they don't need her, they have shelved her because her approval rating is -19."  Cain said that it's not a secret when Harris is out front, she's a "liability" to the administration even though she wasn't a liability to Biden on the ticket.

Kamala Harris has officially been thrown under the bus, and for good reasons.  The rumor mill inside the Beltway suggests that Kamala Harris' handlers are intentionally keeping her out of the limelight.  Any "unscripted moments" she has with the press could cause the Biden administration far more damage than the potential help she might deliver.  And most of the time she doesn't seem to come off as very compassionate or likable.  Perhaps that's why the press was blocked off from her when she recently stopped in Hawaii to tour Pearl Harbor.  Why risk having someone try to ask her about Afghanistan when she might actually try to answer?

Kamala Harris:  The absentee VP by design.  Kamala Harris may have crashed and burned as a 2020 presidential candidate, dropping out well before the first votes were cast in Iowa.  But Biden chose her as his running mate anyway.  It's not clear exactly what Harris brought to the ticket outside of checking off a few demographic boxes.  Foreign policy credentials?  Nope.  Business experience?  None.  A track record of working with Republicans to pass important legislation?  Not even close.  In fact, an analysis by the non-partisan GovTrack showed that she was the most liberal member of the Senate, even further to the left than democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). [...] Since Harris took office, she has yet to hold even one formal press conference.  Not one.  It's also been weeks since Harris sat down for a one-on-one interview.  There's a reason for that:  Her handlers seem to know there's very little upside in having her say anything unscripted on the crisis at the U.S. southern border, where the migrant numbers are at 20-year highs amid a pandemic.

Kamala Harris:  Tone-deaf or sending a message?  There are some pictures that just seem to sum up a public figure in America.  Vietnam vets, rightly, will never forgive Jane Fonda for palling around with the Viet Cong and sitting on one of the weapons used to kill American troops.  The picture of Obama, with his limp arm in Raúl Castro's grasp as Castro raised it triumphantly in the air, seemed to sum up Obama perfectly — a weak leader who gave himself over to the world's tyrants.  And then there's Kamala Harris, who, while in Vietnam, is seen smiling happily in front of a bust of Ho Chi Minh, the founder of the Vietnamese Communist Party.

Why Kamala Harris?  It has to be remembered that Kamala couldn't win a single state during the primaries and was compelled to drop out before the election commenced.  She, therefore, brought no electoral benefits to Joe.  Joe had pledged to select a female running mate.  But among the myriad able, capable, and respectable female politicians in Washington and around the country, why Kamala?  Before there could be any more questions or speculations, the liberal media began the celebrations — even where I am, in India.  She was a woman who had pigment in her skin.  She was biracial, her mother is from India while her father is black and from Jamaica.  Since diversity is the flavor of the moment, she satisfied all the criteria with flying colors.  There were fawning interviews, obsequious television profiles, and copious flattering magazine articles.  Conspiracy theorists claimed that the sinister puppet-masters pulling Joe's strings were behind this, they knew Joe wouldn't last long owing to his rapidly declining cognitive abilities.  At some point, Kamala Harris would replace Joe as president so that the far-left agenda can be implemented.  That would make her the first female president.  There would be the reason for more flattering and slobbering by the media.  Some even had already begun fawning.

Kamala Harris Mistakenly Pays Tribute To The Communist Vietnamese Who Shot Down And Captured John McCain.  Kamala Harris visited Vietnam this week and in an apparent faux pas she laid flowers at a site that celebrated the shooting down of pilot, and late Sen. John McCain.  Apparently, Harris mistook the site that celebrated the Vietnamese civilians who captured McCain and handed him over to the communist government as their prisoner, for a memorial to the late senator.  Why she would believe that a nation that was fighting against the United States would erect a memorial for a man who fought against them is unknown.

Kamala Harris Poses In Front Of Communist Ho Chi Minh Bust — Worst Viet Nam Photo Op Since Jane Fonda.  While in Vietnam last week, Kamala Harris posed with Vietnamese Communist leaders in front of the Ho Chi Minh sculptures.  Ho Chi Minh was a brutal dictator and the founder of the Vietnamese Communist Party.  His regime carried out a class genocide against wealthy farmers and landowners, killing hundreds of thousands in Vietnam.  Who is she appealing to in this photo?  Kamala Harris bailed on the United States when catastrophe struck in Afghanistan, traveling to Singapore and Vietnam.

Kamala Harris' cackling is Joe Biden's job security.  Vice President Kamala Harris's team canceled press access to her remarks to US troops at Pearl Harbor on Thursday — surely because it feared yet another disaster for the veep at the site of a terrible attack on America, the same day as the horrors in Kabul.  Harris is just too prone to verbal fumbles that pour more fuel on the Biden administration's fires.  Just the week before, Harris broke into a bizarre cackle when reporters asked about the early stages of the Afghan crisis.  And that's hardly her only nails-on-chalkboard moment.  For example, when NBC's Lester Holt called her out for failing to go to the US-Mexico border when she's supposed to be administration pointwoman on the border criss, Harris again weirdly laughed as she countered, "And I haven't been to Europe!" as if that had a thing to do with it.

Hunkering Harris:  VP blocks media from Hawaii event after Kabul bombing.  Another Profiles in Courage moment from a beleaguered administration.  More accurately, it's another retreat — this time in front of the military.  Kamala Harris landed in Hawaii yesterday on the final leg of her diplomatic tour in Asia, where the VP had hoped to bolster confidence in the US with Vietnam and Singapore against China.  How much confidence can either country have in the US when the Biden administration gets itself chased out of Afghanistan by terrorists?  And how much of a confidence-builder can it be to see the same VP hiding from the press?

Kamala Harris has 'unprecedented' negative rating.  America just doesn't have a good "feeling" about Vice President Kamala Harris.  Going back 28 years in NBC polling, no other new vice president has been welcomed so coldly by Americans as the Democrat and first woman in the job.  In the latest survey, pollster Bill McInturff pointed out her low positive rating, at 37%, and tweeted this morning, "VP Harris has lowest feeling thermometer of any first year VP going back to Gore in 1993 with an unprecedented 'very negative' rating on @NBCNews survey tracking."  The survey put her positive rating below former Vice Presidents Al Gore, Dick Cheney, Joe Biden, and Mike Pence.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Now Calling For Kamala Harris to Be Impeached Along with Biden.  Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is now calling for Vice President Kamala Harris to be impeached along with President Joe Biden, citing her decision not to travel to Afghanistan as the country collapses back into Taliban control, though she went to Singapore and Vietnam this week.  After appearing at a press conference with the House Freedom Caucus in Washington, D.C. on Monday, Greene made an appearance on Real America's Voice network's "The Water Cooler" with host David Brody, where she stumped for impeaching Harris.  "For her to not speak out about this, for her not to fly over to Afghanistan to the Kabul airport is disgraceful, and unforgivable," said Greene.

Awkward: Joe Biden Can't Explain Why He Picked Kamala Harris as His Vice President.  Well before he became the Democratic presidential nominee and even before then-Sen. Kamala Harris bowed out of the 2020 campaign before the first primary vote was even cast, Joe Biden was being urged, pressured, steamrolled, whatever you want to call it by the mainstream media and "woke" Democrats into picking a female as his running mate, preferably a black female. [...] Biden settled on Harris, who was viewed after the first primary debate in June 2019 to be Biden's staunchest adversary in the campaign.  But within weeks of her star rising after that first debate, her poll numbers fell.  Tulsi Gabbard scored a knockout punch against Harris during her second debate.  Polls were taken that summer that showed even a majority of black and female voters were not warming up to her.  Just a few months later, she dropped out.  But two summers after her presidential campaign cratered, Harris is still having a tough time of it, bumbling through one crisis after another along with getting hit with a surprising wave of bad press which has undoubtedly had an impact on her declining approval numbers.

Impeachment insurance:  It worked for Obama, and it works for Biden.
The one thing keeping Biden in office.  After Sunday's robotic teleprompter address, Biden stumbled through a short mini-news conference and took a handful of questions.  "Let's be clear," said Biden, who wasn't, "the evacuation of thousands of people from Kabul is going to be hard and painful no matter when it started and when we began....  We have a long way to go, and a lot could still go wrong."  Clearly.  The useful idiots among the president's media supporters willingly devour the road apples that the Biden White House throws in their path — that Biden was bound to withdraw from Afghanistan in a rush because of a negotiated settlement with the Taliban by former President Donald Trump. [...] A question:  Since when has Biden been obligated to follow Trump policy?  Never.  Biden switched Trump policy on Iran.  He ended Trump policy on what is now a wide-open Southern border, allowing who knows how many hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants to waltz into America, many who are sick with Covid.  And how many among them will be Afghan Taliban fighters?

Kamala Harris doesn't exactly 'wow' them in Asia.  Giggling her way through Afghanistan questions on the flight over, Kamala Harris touched down in Singapore for the first leg of her Asia trip, supposedly to reassure America's partners and allies that the U.S. has their back.  It didn't go well.  Supposedly, she's there to reassure America's partners that the U.S. remains committed to them as China grows aggressive in their South China Sea.  That's critical now because all eyes are focused on the U.S. fiasco in Afghanistan.  Every state in Southeast Asia is asking itself at this minute:  Will the U.S. bug out on them just as quickly as it ditched its Afghanistan commitment and left its collaborators in the lurch?  Harris wasn't about to answer that in any serious way.  And when she did, she was awful.  On Afghanistan, Harris had absolutely no answer, and apparently didn't even recognize the concern of America's Southeast Asian allies.

Kamala Harris tells us to buy Christmas presents now, warns about climate change and China — but fails to address catastrophe in Afghanistan.  Kamala Harris discussed Christmas shopping and climate change but failed to mention the current crisis in Afghanistan during her major foreign policy speech on Monday [8/23/2021].  Harris, addressing a roundtable of business leaders before her speech, warned that climate change and the pandemic have contributed to supply chain issues, The New York Times reported, and suggested parents should consider getting Christmas presents now.  'The stories that we are now hearing about the caution that if you want to have Christmas toys for your children, it might now be might be the time to start buying them, because the delay may be many, many months,' she said.

The Editor says...
What stores sell Christmas items in August — especially when there are "supply chain issues"?

Pelosi sees the clock ticking and has to ditch Biden to stay in power.  Vice President Kamala Harris has flown to Singapore and Vietnam.  She must consider there are no pressing issues at home.  No border crisis with crime gangs, drugs, and a new raging Covid variant flooding her country.  No exploding crime waves.  No skyrocketing homicides due to her support for defunding the police and bailing out violent criminals.  No Afghan disaster.  Harris is not capable of helping the President with any of these major problems.  So, she escapes these high-priority crises to escape to tiny peaceful Singapore until the publicity peak of these political and military disasters blows over.  The US Vice President fled the scene. [...] The Democrats are trying to distance Harris from their disastrous mess at home and abroad and present her as the Democrat version of Joan of Arc.  An untouched virgin woke warrior riding in to save America.  When the moment comes, the complicit media will be all over this story 24/7.  They will try to wipe away memories of non-stop policy failures, drowned out under the bells and congratulatory hype of the first female president entering the Oval Office, and a non-white one to boot.  The pinnacle of a woke wonderland will be lauded ad nauseum.

Kamala Harris Releases Perhaps the Most Tone-Deaf Picture of Her Tenure.  RedState reported this morning on the chaos in Afghanistan, including the State Department now telling Americans to shelter in place and not attempt to transit to the Kabul airport for evacuation.  But you wouldn't know any of that was going on if you were paying attention to VP Kamala Harris.  Harris is headed to Vietnam and Singapore in the midst of the worst crisis of her tenure.  Worse, she decided it'd be a great idea to release this cringe-tastic picture of her departure.  Do these people even have advisers?  That's a serious question.  Where are the staffers in Harris' orbit to say that this looks completely tone-deaf?  Thousands of Americans are stuck behind enemy lines with no way to get out and the VP is posting glamor shots on Twitter of her ignoring the situation?  Keep in mind, she has not even commented on the ongoing disaster in Afghanistan yet.  I realize Harris is as fake as it gets and she wants to project herself as a "leader" with these silly, staged shots of her waving (who's she even waving to at 8:30 at night?), but there's a time to just holster it for a little while.  That time is when the administration she serves in is melting down before the eyes of the world.

Kamala Harris claims she had 'key role' in removing US troops from Afghanistan — but now silent since Taliban took power.  Kamala Harris claimed she had a "key role" in removing US troops from Afghanistan — but is conveniently staying silent since the Taliban took control of the war-torn country.  The Vice President previously proudly told reporters she was the "last person in the room" before President Biden decided to withdraw US forces.  She said she felt "comfortable" with the decision, despite Biden being "acutely aware that it may not be politically popular, or advantageous for him personally; it's really something to see."

The Silence of Kamala.  The hosts and guest of Fox News' Outnumbered brutally dissected Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday [8/18/2021].  Dissected is too clinical: they eviscerated her.  [Tweet] [...] In April, Harris bragged to CNN that she was the last person in the room when Biden made the decision to pull U.S. troops out of the country.  The interview is [elsew]here, and further highlights another of Harris' failures:  Her "Root Causes" Tour of Guatemala when she was hiding in plain sight pretending to be doing something about the crisis at the Mexican Border.  Harris' response to the Guatemalan people was that she would give "people hope, that help is on the way."  So where's that hope to the Afghan girls who are being butchered, or auctioned off to the Taliban officers?  Where is her exhortation that "help is on the way", when the Biden administration cannot even extract the American diplomats and embassy workers that are still trapped in the country?

Kamala Harris Vanishes from Public View as Afghanistan Crisis Engulfs the White House.  Vice President Kamala Harris vanished from public view for five days as President Joe Biden and his administration tackled their worst foreign policy blunder to date.  Her last solo public appearance was on August 12, as she met with business leaders to discuss the importance of childcare and paid leave benefits.  Harris last appeared publicly with President Joe Biden on August 10 as they celebrated the president's proposed infrastructure deal passing the Senate with a bipartisan majority.  The vice president was spotted in a photo released by the White House over the weekend showing President Biden attending a video conference from Camp David with Harris and other administration officials.

Kamala Harris tries to flee Joe Biden's sinking ship.  Is Kamala Harris jumping ship?  Sure looks like it, now that Congress is talking up the 25th Amendment to remove doddering Joe Biden from office for incapacitation amid the biggest foreign policy catastrophe since the Saigon embassy rooftop evacuation of 1975.  Suddenly, Kamala doesn't seem to want to be anywhere near old Joe.  First, there have been reports of screamings behind the scenes, according to commentator Jack Posobiec, who seems to have someone on the inside at the White House giving him the lowdown. [...] With a tin ear of her own, Harris has refused to cancel her long planned trip to Vietnam, home of the actual Saigon, and certainly a place where the topic of Afghanistan is going to be brought up. [...] It's ugly, and with Biden's poll numbers sinking to Kamala levels of public disapproval, it looks at though the vice president is doing her utmost to escape responsibility for the Afghan fiasco, despite being "the last person in the room" when the awful decision on the pullout was made.

Kamala Bragged She Was 'Last Person In The Room' When Biden Decided To Leave Afghanistan.  Back in April, Vice President Kamala Harris bragged that she was the "last person in the room" when President Biden had to make "big decisions," including Biden's decision to pull American troops out of Afghanistan by September 11. [...] On April 14, when he announced the removal of American troops from Afghanistan by September 11, Biden boasted, "We'll not conduct a hasty rush to the exit.  We'll do it.  We'll do it responsibly, deliberately and safely.  And we will do it in full coordination with our allies and partners who now have more forces in Afghanistan than we do.  The Taliban should know that if they attack us as we draw down, we will defend ourselves and our partners with all the tools at our disposal."

The Worst Part?  The Democrats Can't Use the 25th Amendment.  Kamala Harris is currently the tie-breaking vote in the Senate, and Republicans are only crossing over if Mitch McConnell supports a bill or if he realizes the Republicans will lose the fight anyway.  He has a very tight grip on his caucus, and he can get his 50 votes whipped if he wants to make a stand.  So far, he hasn't had to.  But there is a lot of power to be had in a 50-50 Senate with no tie-breaking vote, and he will take advantage of it.  So, Kamala Harris becoming the President via the 25th Amendment means the Democrats lose their tie-breaking vote in the Senate, and without a 51st vote, there is no way for the Democrats to break a tie in the Senate in order to confirm a replacement Vice President.  They are effectively stuck.

Kamala Harris Is Set up to Get Shivved in the Back by Joe Biden Again.  Today, as things further deteriorate in Afghanistan, a question popped into my head — where's Kamala Harris?  The vice president hasn't spoken publicly since the chaos started, mimicking the disappearing act she pulled early in Joe Biden's presidency.  Over the past weeks, she's been the subject of several hit pieces as well, likely sourced from within the White House.  What is her response to the disaster currently playing out?  Then Larry O'Connor reminded me of Harris' statement back in April on the withdrawal, and I believe it's going to be very relevant going forward, as Biden looks to shiv someone in the back to avoid blame.  [Tweet] [...] I see no reason for Harris to present herself a being the "last one in the room" — unless it was to run cover for Biden.  Further, I refuse to believe that the president, regardless of his obvious senility, wasn't aware of how badly this was going to go.  It was just too obvious, and just like with the border crisis, Biden has made sure that his mess can be hung around his vice president's neck again.  Meanwhile, the president himself is hiding out on vacation at Camp David, with a lid called until Wednesday.

Retrieved from the Media Memory Hole:
Harris says she had key role in Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal decision.  Vice President Kamala Harris confirmed Sunday [4/25/2021] that she was the last person in the room before President Joe Biden made the decision to pull all U.S. troops out of Afghanistan.  In an interview with CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union," Harris was asked about being the last person in the room regarding major decisions, something that Biden has said is important to him in his working relationship with the vice president.  Harris confirmed that was the case regarding the move to pull U.S. troops out of Afghanistan by Sept. 11.

Dems shudder at 'Kamala 2024'.  It was one year ago Wednesday that Kamala Harris was announced as Joe Biden's running mate.  That auspicious moment catapulted the stone-cold loser of the Democratic presidential contest into prime time, a heartbeat away from the Oval Office.  With the convenient defenestration of her main rival, handsy, outgoing Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the ambitious 56-year-old vice president is another step closer to the 2024 nomination — or 2028, if you believe Biden.  The problem for the Democrats is that she is unelectable.  It's the fake laughter, the handmaidenly comportment around Biden, the car-crash interviews and the complete inability to succeed at any of the tasks she has been handed, from immigration to vaccination.  Not for nothing was Harris billed the "most unpopular vice president in 50 years" by UK broadsheet the Daily Telegraph.

Report: Kamala Harris Discussed "Complete Opening" of the Southern Border With Mexican President.  According to Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, he and Vice President Kamala Harris talked about "the complete opening" of the 2,000 mile border between the United States and Mexico.  The announcement comes after the border has been closed to non-essential travel between the two contries.  Obrador tweeted, "We spoke again with Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States.  In good terms, we dealt with the immigration issue, the complete opening of the northern border to reactivate our economies and continue with mutual cooperation to face the pandemic."

Don't blame the media for Kamala's bad press.  Kamala Harris' record so far has been so disastrous that top female allies held a "crisis dinner" last month to try to stop the bad p.r.  Yet their problem isn't the press; it's Harris.  As Axios reported, the dinner was meant to plan how to defend the veep and her chief of staff, Tina Flournoy, amid claims of a toxic office climate and what some say is sexism.  It was organized by Kiki McLean, an adviser to Bill and Hillary Clinton, and featured former Obama communications director Jennifer Palmieri, Harris confidante Minyon Moore, Biden adviser Stephanie Cutter and Hillary Clinton spokeswomen Karen Finney and Adrienne Elrod.  If these people want Harris to draw better press, there's an obvious solution:  Get her to do a better job.  Her handling of the border crisis, her top-priority assignment, has been abysmal.  Yeah, we know:  She's in a no-win situation since it was her boss, President Joe Biden, who created the crisis.  But her (few) press appearances have only made her seem arrogant and otherwise useless on this issue.

Wargaming in progress:  The early panic by Team Biden about "the Kamala crisis" is ... something.  It didn't take long for Kamala Harris to show America just how unprepared for her job she is and America is responding. [...] She's supposed to succeed the Big Guy in 2024 and she's off to a really bad start.  Axios reports that a dinner was held to address the Kamala crisis.  It was a group of old friends getting together for dinner in a home in D.C. last month to "game out how to defend Vice President Kamala Harris and her chief of staff, Tina Flournoy, against a torrent of bad press."  The fact that it is so early into the administration and powerful political operatives — the group of old friends — already feel the need to organize on behalf of Kamala is not good news for Team Biden.

Kamala Harris Is Turning Out to Be Joe Biden's Biggest Mistake.  [Scroll down]  Naturally, it raises the question of whether or not Biden — who continues to struggle with poor mental stamina in public appearances — will even run again in 2024.  The Democrats might have thought they had a backup in place, but Vice President Kamala Harris has proven to be a charismatic black hole of a Vice President and has been so awful in her own public interviews and with her job responsibilities that she is practically in hiding 90 percent of the time.  The American people are noticing, too.  As new polling shows that Harris' popularity is officially underwater, Democrats are said to be panicking behind the scenes as their 2020 victory looks more and more like a fluke that they won't be able to repeat in the near future.

Polls: Kamala Harris [is the] Least Popular Vice President in Modern History.  After a little more than six months in her current role, potential 2024 presidential candidate Kamala Harris has become one of the least popular vice presidents since the 1970's.  The Telegraph reported over the weekend that "two recent polls both showed 46 percent of Americans approved of Harris, with 47 percent and 48 percent disapproving."  According to Gallup, the Telegraph noted, 42.1 percent approved of former Vice President Mike Pence's performance at the same point in his term while 41.9 percent disapproved.  "The previous vice president — Biden — had an approval rating above 50 percent after six months.  Before that Dick Cheney, and Al Gore, were in the 60s at the same stage," the report stated.  "Even Dan Quayle, the much-mocked vice president of George H.W. Bush, had an approval rating of 43 percent, and disapproval of just 22 percent, with 34 percent undecided."

Democratic Strategists Acknowledge Grim Reality:  Kamala Harris May 'Do More Harm Than Good'.  It's no secret that Vice President Kamala Harris has been doing a terrible job.  And it's not just us saying so.  The revelations have come over the past few months that working for her amounts to "an abusive environment."  Top travel aides announced they were leaving right around the time Harris went to El Paso for her border trip.  After reports of disastrous poll results, The Hill and The New York Post spoke to Democratic strategists, and they weren't playing around.  A Morning Consult-Politico poll from last week revealed that the vice president did not have good favorability ratings, with 45 percent of respondents regarding her favorably, compared to the 47 percent who do so unfavorably.  She fared particularly poorly among women, with 43 percent viewing her favorably compared to the 47 percent who do so unfavorably.

Kamala Harris:  We Can't Secure The Border Until We Transform Central America Into A Paradise.  In just five months, it seems Vice President Kamala Harris has managed to crack the code on illegal immigration.  All we have to do to ensure that Central Americans stop illegally crossing our border is to transform the Northern Triangle countries of Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador into stable, prosperous democracies.  That's it!  That's the answer!  Harris's office on Thursday [7/29/2021] released what it calls a "Root Causes Strategy" that lays out, in just 18 pages, what decades of policymakers and successive administrations have apparently missed: the reason so many Central Americans come to the United States illegally, it turns out, is because their countries are plagued by poverty, crime, corruption, and violence.  Solve those problems and bang! — you solve illegal immigration.  But seriously, the vice president's "root causes" document amounts to a heap of bureaucratic nonsense from an administration that has never taken illegal immigration seriously and whose own policies have turned the border crisis into a maelstrom of chaos.

Kamala Harris Close to Hitting Rock Bottom as the Unraveling Continues.  During her failed presidential campaign, then-Sen. Kamala Harris was her own worst enemy. [...] Tulsi Gabbard scored a knockout punch against Harris during her second debate.  Polls were taken that summer that showed a majority of black and female voters were not warming up to her.  By December 2019, she dropped out of the race before the first primary/caucus votes were cast.  Her star rose again the following summer after Biden picked her as his vice presidential nominee, the result of him being pressured relentlessly for months to pick a black, female Democrat to be his running mate.  Here we are now, two summers after her presidential campaign began to crater, and Harris' woes are apparent again, from the disastrous way she's handled the border crisis to date to the numerous reports swirling with allegations from former and current staffers that a divaesque Harris is extremely difficult to work with and has her priorities askew.

Yeah, Nobody Really Likes Kamala Harris.  When Harris's current boss held her same job from 2009 to 2017, I used to say that having the Idiot Boy a heartbeat away from the presidency was the greatest security Barack Obama could have.  Seriously, nobody wanted to see that in the Oval Office.  That was before the United States of America decided to take a trip through the looking glass.  That, as we are now painfully aware, is now  squatting in  occupying the Oval Office.  One of our greatest fears has become true and, in classic Democrat fashion, they've found someone even worse to be Number Two than he was back in the day.  Biden ended up picking Kamala Harris as a running mate because he'd been studying the Book of Things Democrats Say and barfed up a diversity promise during a debate.  Apparently, his entire team hadn't paid any attention to the primary season that their boss had just triumphed in and was unaware that even Democrats don't like Kamala Harris.

Where in the World is Kamala Harris?  When a president pushes big legislative initiatives like Joe Biden's trillions for "infrastructure," his vice president always heads out on the trail, going from city to city, hyping the plan.  The Veep holds rallies, appears on news shows eager for exclusive interviews and meets with local bigwigs.  It's all designed to build momentum and spur public support.  Joe Biden desperately needs that support right now as he works to pass his signature infrastructure bill.  So where in the world is Kamala Harris?  She appears to be hiding in the White House, on instructions from Biden's team.  It would be easier to find Jimmy Hoffa's body.  Why the disappearing act?

Kamala's five-pronged strategy for Biden's border crisis and are you kidding me?  [Scroll down]  Not only is the strategy a rehash of what has been done for decades by past administrations with little success but Kamala escalates U.S. involvement in domestic policies of Northern Triangle countries.  The 18-page report released divides the strategy into several pillars.  Mind you, Kamala didn't call a press briefing and answer questions about her plan.  She simply issued a statement.  The Biden administration promised to be the most transparent of any administration ever before but the reality is that both she and Biden avoid the press as much as possible and limit opportunities for questions on just about anything — except maybe questions about Joe's ice cream treats.

Kamala's favorability hits just 44% favorability in polls.  Kamala Harris is facing a steep uphill battle if she wants to succeed her boss Joe Biden in 2024.  Recent poll numbers show the vice president — and Biden's heir apparent — hovering at just 44.3 percent favorability, according to poll aggregator RealClearPolitics.  Her unfavorability is slightly higher at 46.3 percent.  Plagued by years' worth of accounts of a toxic work culture under her watch, as well as her very public missteps while handling the monumental task of fixing the border crisis, Harris' weaknesses are even apparent to Biden's supporters.

'This is your home' Harris hosts DACA recipients and Dreamers.  Kamala Harris hosted DACA recipients and dreamers on Thursday following the Texas federal court decision ruling last week that the program protecting illegal immigrants was created unlawfully by former President Barack Obama.  'I want to make clear to the dreamers that are here, and to those who are watching from home, this is your home, this is your home, and we see you and you are not alone,' Harris assured the group as she spoke to the press ahead of the meeting.  The vice president assured those in the meeting that the Texas court ruling 'will not immediately impact current DACA recipients, also it will put hundreds of thousands of young immigrants in jeopardy.  But our administration is taking action.'

Harris struggles to name GOP senators she's spoken to on voting rights.  Vice President Kamala Harris struggled when asked to name which Republican senators she had spoken to on the issue of voting rights legislation in an interview this week.  Speaking to CBS News by phone Tuesday, the vice president made the comments after telling the network she was in contact with senators from both parties on the issue of Senate Democrats' voting rights legislation.  "I have spoken to Republican senators — both elected Republicans and Republican leaders," Harris told the network, adding, "I've talked with Murkowski about this issue."  Reps for Harris, who did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment, later told the network that the two had actually discussed infrastructure, not election security.

More than a laugh:  Kamala Harris' is a sound check for a divided country.  [Scroll down]  At times, like when she walks onto a stage after a lengthy introduction, Harris laughs unprompted in the way that politicians often do to try to demonstrate humility — as if to suggest that, while she may be a history-making vice president, she also sees the attention around her as a bit much.  Or she'll laugh amid an earnest policy discussion, seemingly trying to bring the subject down to earth.  At a speech in Michigan this month, Harris talked about people waiting months to get their COVID-19 vaccines.  "It's July!" she said with a guffaw.  "It's time!"  But the laugh that's proved the most polarizing is one that some observers argue is not a laugh at all.  It's her reaction, often seemingly inappropriate in the moment, when Harris is asked a question she doesn't like.  She laughs, and it's hard to tell if she is doing so to deflect or to signal she thinks the query is dumb, or both.  As state attorney general, for example, she drew media attention for a deflective chuckle in 2014 when she dodged a question about whether she favored pot legalization.  She replied only with a laugh and a few words that basically restated the question.

Majority thinks second-in-line Harris unprepared to be president:  Poll.  A majority of likely voters lack confidence in Vice President Kamala Harris's readiness to be president, according to a new poll.  A survey administered by Convention of States Action and the Trafalgar Group found 58.6% of respondents said they were "not confident at all" that Harris, who would succeed President Joe Biden if he were to vacate office, is ready to be president "based on her performance as vice president."  Five percent of those surveyed said they were "not very confident" in Harris.  Only 36.4% of the more than 1,000 people surveyed said they were "very confident," "somewhat confident," or "not sure" how confident they were about Harris's readiness to serve as president.

New poll shows 64% of Americans [are] not confident Kamala Harris is ready to be president.  A new poll from Convention of States Action shows nearly 60% of those surveyed are not confident about Vice President Kamala Harris becoming president.  The poll, in partnership with the Trafalgar Group, shows 58.6% of the electorate is "not confident at all" that Harris is ready to be president.  Five percent said they were "not very confident."  The flagging numbers for the vice president cross partisan lines, as 42.6% of Democrat voters say they are not very confident or not confident at all that Harris is ready to become the county's next commander in chief.  Harris's approval ratings have consistently trended downward since she assumed office in January of this year.  Though a moderate drop in approval numbers is expected for incoming presidents and second in command, Harris' numbers cliff exceeds Biden's and most of her predecessors.  Americans appears most dissatisfied with her handling the border crisis of which President Biden put Harris in charge.  Among their concerns are record high migrant numbers and her decision not to visit the border as the surge started.

Kamala Harris will NOT quarantine after meeting with runaway Texas Democrats even though three tested positive for COVID.  Kamala Harris is getting a 'routine' check up at Walter Reed Medical Center on Sunday [7/18/2021], a report revealed, just five days after she met with two Texas Democratic lawmakers who tested positive for coronavirus.  The visit also comes the day after he office released a statement claiming the vice president would not be getting tested for COVID-19, despite the potential contact with the virus, and would not be quarantining.  A White House official said on Sunday that Harris' visit is just a 'routine doctor's appointment', and asserted it doesn't have to do with her meeting with Texas Democrats.

VP Harris' Greasy Looking Stepdaughter Debuts as Paris Fashion Runway Model.  Vice President Kamala Harris' stepdaughter Ella Emhoff made her debut on the fashion runway in Paris on Wednesday [7/14/2021] as she donned Balenciaga and slicked back hair. [...] Funny though.  Emhoff's plain, greasy, homeless look did not catch the eye of modeling agencies until Harris became the vice president.

Time for another story about how much Kamala Harris's staff hates working for her.  If this sounds familiar, it's because Politico ran a piece a few weeks ago claiming that the culture in Harris's West Wing office is "not healthy," possibly even abusive.  But the sourcing was thin and her chief of staff, Tina Flournoy, ended up taking more shots than Harris herself did.  Supposedly Flournoy was overly zealous in her gatekeeping for the VP, which may have [angered] enough big egos to inspire them to take revenge by whispering that Harris and her chief were bad bosses with unhappy aides.  But now here comes Business Insider with accounts from various former Harris aides attesting that, yeah, she's a nightmare.  To the point that one allegedly needed therapy after working for her.

Kamala meets the Texas Democrat 'fugitives': Harris gushes over the 'sacrifice' of runaways facing arrest when they return to Austin.  Vice President Kamala Harris made a pointed gesture of support Tuesday for Texas Democratic legislators who are on the lam after bolting quorum to prevent enactment of new voting restrictions.  The White House didn't publicize the meeting until minutes before it occurred — after the runaway lawmakers flew to Washington by private jet after blocking the legislation, infuriating Republicans.  Harris dropped in on a meeting the lawmakers were holding in D.C., where she gave full-throated support to their actions, even with the Texas House voting to arrest them when they return home.

Kamala Should Get All the Pinocchios for Description of Runaway Texas Dems.  As we reported earlier, the Texas Democrats have fled the state and flown to Washington, D.C. to prevent a vote on the election security bill, denying Republicans a quorum.  Now, this is a silly move which, as my colleague Bonchie noted earlier, they're attempting a gambit they can't ultimately win.  It may be stopping a quorum on the election bill but it's also blocking all the things that Democrats would want to push, which wouldn't go over well with their constituents.  They're also playing this game in a state that knows better, that knows this bill isn't anything like they want to paint it, so it's going to come back to bite the Democrats as a group with independent voters as well.  But if you listen to what Kamala Harris and the Texas legislators are saying you would think that they were storming the beaches of Normandy.

'Kamala's Kinko's Problem'.  You could see it written all over Soledad O'Brien's face.  In her interview with the sitting Vice President she asks a simple question about the efficacy of IDs for voters.  The word salad that came back from Kamala Harris was so inane, lacking in general coherency and mortifyingly insulting, the BET cameras caught a glimpse of an expression on the interviewer's face that screamed, "why me?"  This revelation from Harris' sit down with BET capped off a bizarre weekend in which it was also revealed that she's "far too busy" to deal with all the areas of focus she's taken on.  She also famously uttered that perhaps she just needs to "tell Joe 'no'" more often.  I'm pretty sure all of that is the opposite of how it's supposed to happen.  Yet this is the new standard from the Jello Commander in chief and his number two "Cackles" the clown.  Brazen hubris, jaw dropping incompetence, and a complete inability to even explain their simplest ideas.

What's wrong with Kamala Harris?  In fact, just six months into — is that all it's been? — the 48-month initial reign of Joe Biden, someone(s) out to undercut Harris in recent weeks hiding behind anonymity to feed political writers' negative stories on her style and staff, some of whom have quit. [...] Now, Harris is not helping her own cause with amateurish flubs, stupid answers, and unforced errors when rhetorically cornered, suggesting the 56-year-old, former prosecutor is not ready for prime time.  This repeats a widespread impression from her aborted presidential campaign that failed to last even 'til the first primary.  First impressions are important on colleagues and the public, especially when she's just a heartbeat apart from becoming president — and, ultimately, positioned to inheriting her party's presidential nomination in 2024.

Kamala Harris:  The last Democrat holdout arguing against voter I.D..  Democrats, even the crazy ones such as Stacey Abrams, have backed away from their call for zero photo I.D. in order to vote.  Their argument that black people are incapable of getting I.D. is essentially racist.  More important, from their point of view, the voters are squarely are not in their tree.  Voter I.D. is a common sense measure practiced in all civilized countries and voter polls support it.  They still want to win in 2022, so they've moved away from that stance like a bad smell from a backed up sewer.  But Kamala Harris is still swimming in it, and gave an amazingly stupid defense of zero-I.D. to vote in an interview with BET: [...]

Kamala Harris Just Demonstrated, Once Again, How Clueless She Is About Americans.  Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have very strange views of Americans. [...] Take Kamala Harris' remarks, in a BET interview with Soledad O'Brien, making the rounds today about "rural Americans" and voter ID.  Some Democrats have given up on the stupidity of trying to claim that voter ID is racist because they realize that they can't convince Americans.  Americans are smart and know that's just nonsense.  So, now they're trying to claim they were always for voter ID, just 'equitable' voter ID or some other nonsense term.  Kamala Harris refuses to say if she would agree to voter ID.  But, she seemed to be trying to come up with some other way to ding voter ID requirements — when she tripped all over her own perceptions of rural Americans.  Listen as she explains that it's "almost impossible" for rural Americans to photocopy their IDs.

Harris: Voter ID Could Mean People Have to Copy ID and Send It In and People Live in Areas Where There Isn't a Kinko's or OfficeMax.  During a portion of an interview with BET set to air on Friday that was broadcast on Thursday's "CBS This Morning," Vice President Kamala Harris responded to a question on whether she'd compromise by agreeing to voter ID provisions to pass voting legislation by stating that we shouldn't downplay the impact voter ID laws could have.  Because to some, voter ID means, "you're going to have to Xerox or photocopy your ID to send it in to prove that you are who you are."  And many people live where "there's no Kinko's, there's no OfficeMax near them."

Joe and Kamala put Dems in a pickle.  The Dems, stuck on Kamala's race and impressed by her shallow posturing, never accounted for her thorough unsuitability for the V.P. job, let alone ascending to the presidency.  During the primaries, Harris enjoyed top-tier billing for only a few months until the actual voting started, then was raked into a brush pile, beset by arrogance, incoherent messaging, incompetence, and an unappealing acidic personality.  Kamala Harris as vice president has followed the identical pattern to her campaign.  She is largely invisible, but when she does make an appearance, her dreadful campaign and previous political defects are on full display.  Unintelligible messaging, zero communication skills, bereft of originality or problem-solving leadership, while her V.P. office organization staff are fighting a brutal civil war, where discord and enmity capture the news headlines on a daily basis. [...] In five months, Kamala Harris is contending for the worst vice president in history, with few rivals.

Is Pete Buttigieg trying to sabotage Kamala?  As Kamala Harris sinks into the sludge of her own incompetence, Breitbart News has noticed an interesting coincidence rolling around in the press. [...] To start, Breitbart found an item dating from March from a senior Yahoo!  News correspondent discussing Buttigieg being busy "boosting his own brand" as a Biden successor and mapping a path to the presidency from it. [...] With Joe Biden increasingly senile, it's pretty obvious there's a lot of jockeying for his office among the sentient, with backbiting and back-stabbing and all the other Machiavellian- or Jacobean-style power struggles of secretive environments among elites.  As Joe goes downhill, there will be a lot more.  The Buttigieg sabotage, though, is more interesting than it looks.  First, note that the man Buttigieg calls his husband and Kamala's husband have reportedly become the best of buddies.  They've "bonded."  They text emojis to each other.

FNC's Carlson:  Kamala Harris a 'Power-Hungry Buffoon Posing as a Competent Adult'.  On Friday's broadcast of "Tucker Carlson Tonight," host Tucker Carlson ripped Vice President Kamala Harris for her lackluster tenure in the role and questioned who was really in charge of the Biden administration.  According to the FNC host, President Joe Biden's "senility" meant more power for Harris.  [Transcript]

Kamala Harris Is The Case Against Affirmative Action.  If there was ever a case against affirmative action, it would be the sitting vice president.  All of the things opponents of race quotas say — that they inspire mediocrity, lead to lower standards, and set unqualified people up for failure — are precisely what we're seeing in the shockingly poor job performance of Kamala Harris.  President Biden has admitted he chose her as his running mate, first and foremost, because she is a woman.  "I'll pick a woman to be vice president," he declared during a Democratic primary debate.  And black Democrat leaders, during last year's threatening race riots, demanded his choice also be black.  Qualifications for the actual White House weren't really part of the equation.  That's what got us here.  Politico on Wednesday [6/30/2021] reported Harris's staff "is experiencing low morale, porous lines of communication and diminished trust among aides and senior officials."

Dems Leak More Fears About Kamala for the Future.  There's definitely somebody leaking stuff on Kamala Harris, trying to warn people off of her.  We've covered a few stories already about how folks are leaking what chaos there is in her office, and how some staffers even dumped her and quit.  That raises interesting questions about who's leaking — and why now.  But, it also raises further concerns about her abilities.  We've already seen, without those reports, that she's a disaster with how she handles things, such as how she's dealt or more exactly, not dealt with, the border crisis.  With Joe Biden such a mess, her problems are obviously a deep concern when she's the back-up.

White House 'Whisper Campaign' Shows Democrats Increasingly Fearful That Harris Can't Beat Trump in 2024.  The whisper campaign against Vice President Kamala Harris has its origins among White House aides who increasingly see her as incapable of defeating any Republican challenger in 2024, including Donald Trump.  Recent missteps and gaffes by Harris at the border and with reporters have top Democrats worried that Harris simply isn't up to the task of heading the Democratic ticket if Biden — who will be 81 if he runs — decides to stand aside.  It's not just the gaffes.  Biden aides have been undermining Harris's authority in her own office, using recent revelations about its dysfunction to raise serious questions about her competence and temperament.

Why Are These Kamala Harris Stories Happening Right Now?  What the Biden team needed was someone who was a woman of color and someone who had publically been known to go after her opponents like a prosecutor.  The campaign strategy was to make the case more against Trump than for Biden.  Harris was believed to be that person, and I wrote months before she was picked that it was likely going to be her and for that reason.  The problem is Harris has absolutely no charisma and no ability to connect with a national audience.  She has benefitted from political favors and kept getting higher and higher office, but once she became a national figure, she collapsed.  She couldn't find a message she wouldn't adopt if Twitter was for it.  She could not paper over the fact that she was a prosecutor with a terrible record of going after black men and mothers.  She could not connect with the voters in any real way.

Clean-up on Aisle 2: White House scrambles to salvage flailing Kamala Harris.  On Kamala Harris, looks like some sort of salvage operation has begun for this Biden administration shipwreck.  That's evident enough in two stories from swamp-beltway media, using named and unnamed sources, both of which say the same thing: [...] The focus in both pieces is on staff and whether they are young, incompetent, chaotic, or out to get her.  Several notations in both pieces note that Kamala's staff is young and inexperienced, not mentioning that maybe there's a reason for that — that Kamala is a hellish boss, and can't keep staff.  The staff who are there are like Flight Lieutenant Jerry Rawlings of Ghana — in the top spots only because all the big feet above them were chased or killed off.  Essentially, the problem is not staff but Kamala herself, a disaster in the public arena and a disaster behind the scenes incapable of even basic management such as a McDonald's manager is able to do.

The Veep From 'Veep'.  President Joe Biden has a problem, and her name is Kamala Harris.  The vice president has become a comic figure in today's Washington — a politician given to missteps and unforced errors who inspires neither loyalty nor trust within her inner circle.  She might have been Biden's safest pick for running mate.  But now she's a liability for both the president and the Democratic Party.  It's not just that Harris is unpopular.  Her unique combination of falsity and incompetence generates negative press and endangers her dreams of succeeding Biden.  For Harris, the month of June has been an extended replay of highlights from Veep, the HBO comedy starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus as a clueless and floundering politician on the make.  Only Harris isn't laughing.

White House goes into damage control mode after reports of dysfunction in Kamala Harris' office.  The White House dove into damage control this week after reports of dysfunction and infighting in Vice President Kamala Harris' office, with the administration trying to stop a drama-filled narrative from taking hold, according to five people who spoke to CNN about the dynamics within Harris' office.  Two people close to Harris' team said some individuals inside the vice president's office are frustrated with what they see as a dysfunctional operation that has been at times waylaid by internal conflict.

'Not a healthy environment': Kamala Harris' office rife with dissent.  When Vice President Kamala Harris finally made the decision to visit the Mexico border last week, people inside her own office were blindsided by the news.  For days, aides and outside allies had been calling and texting with each other about the political fallout that a potential trip would entail.  But when it became known that she was going to El Paso, it left many scrambling, including officials who were responsible for making travel arrangements and others outside the VP's office charged with crafting the messaging across the administration.  The handling of the border visit was the latest chaotic moment for a staff that's quickly become mired in them.  Harris' team is experiencing low morale, porous lines of communication and diminished trust among aides and senior officials.

Kamala Harris's 'abusive' office [...] despite Biden's threat to fire anyone treating colleagues poorly.  The office of Vice President Kamala Harris has been rocked by claims that staffers are 'treated [badly]' and that Chief of Staff Tina Flournoy has created 'blame culture.'  Tensions started to boil over after Harris finally decided to visit the border last week, blindsiding staffers, according to a Politico report based on interviews with 22 current and former vice presidential aides, officials and associates.  Sources described a tense atmosphere with low morale and trust, as well as bad communication, according to the outlet.  Flournoy has allegedly created an environment where 'ideas are ignored or met with harsh dismissals and decisions are dragged out,' the outlet reported.  She allegedly 'refuses to take responsibility' and blames staffers for negative results.

Joe Biden Is Leaving Kamala Harris In a No-Win Situation.  If you're a conservative, and you point out that Joe Biden keeps shoving the unpopular, thorny, controversial work onto Vice President Kamala Harris' desk, that there's little sign that his inner circle really trusts her, and that she never would have been chosen as Biden's running mate if she were a white male, you're apparently self-evidently racist.

Kamala Can't Run the Country Or Even Manage Her Own People.  Kamala Harris is a San Francisco socialite who hooked up with the right people, but never picked up the right skills for the various jobs she managed to secure.  Unlike Obama, she isn't the front face of an organized team.  Kamalaworld is whoever drifted into her orbit.  Not only can't she run the country, let alone tackle any major problems, but she can't even manage her own people.  Her Veepness turns out to be an echo of the same mess as her campaign. [...] This is a dumb story, but it's also a symptom of an inept leader.  When your people are taking shots at each other through the media, you've lost control of your operation.  And this keeps happening to Kamala.

Report: Kamala Harris is an awful boss.  Vice President Mike Pence may be in the doghouse with conservatives but no one can say there were stories that he was a bad boss or that his office was chaotic, mismanaged, or incompetent.  Things are different with Kamala Harris.  According to an article in Politico, Harris's office sounds like the real-life version of Veep, the HBO political satire that focused on the stupid, self-centered, and vicious Selina Meyer, a Vice President whose office was filled with slavish gatekeepers and self-centered staff, all of whom were incompetent.  The story rings true.  What's more interesting is contemplating why Democrats are going after Harris.

Ezra Klein admits it:  Kamala Harris is incompetent.  Not for the first time, Ezra Klein, a youthful hipster leftist writer favored by the elites, has said more than he probably intended to.  [Tweet]  Which is exactly the same as saying she should be put at the little table.  She should be given training wheels.  She should be praised for her finger-paint pictures.  She's not up to the job.  Which is an amazingly idiotic thing to say since he wants to make her president anyway.  Why should someone who can't achieve presidential tasks be president at all?  Someone who can't solve the border crisis and isn't even trying, is, in his book, somehow meant for bigger things.  His idea though, is to give her smaller tasks?  The way it's done when some incompetent is demoted?  Wow.

The incredible shrinking Kamala Harris.  Kamala Harris is creating a problem.  That comes as a surprise.  I figured she'd be President by now. [...] The problem?  VP Harris is not ready for prime time.  California is a foreign country.  They do things differently there.  Who knows how one gets elected senator?  Harris has already proved it wasn't by putting in long days solving complex problems with her vast intellectual resources and leadership ability.  She has no intention of doing the heavy lifting.  Even if she did, she couldn't pull it off.  Peddling Marxist snake oil isn't easy work.  When the proposed solution will obviously make things worse, you've got to be Harold Hill from The Music Man to talk people into it.  When it actually does make things worse, only the most talented magician can convince the public not to believe their lyin' eyes.  Bill Clinton could do it.  He was the master. [...] Barack Obama, radical leftist dressed as a benevolent high-school principal, could do it.  Kamala Harris can't.  Her go-to strategy is to cackle at the sad souls who are just too dumb to get it on their own.

Kamala Harris Has a Big Problem.  Harris came into the job after a presidential campaign that floundered so badly all it took was a crusade by the all-but-forgotten Tulsi Gabbard to put it out of its misery.  Harris viciously played identity politics in attacking Biden, but her campaign was driven by social media reaction to issues rather than actual policy, and she wasn't able to keep up.  Despite this, she was tapped to be Biden's running mate in 2020, thanks in large part to her race and gender as well as her history as a prosecutor.  The belief among some behind the scenes was that, based on her very public, very direct style of going after witnesses in Senate hearings, that could be used to make the case against Trump while Biden could lay low.  However, Harris has proved every step of the way that she lacks the charisma to ignite the American people to her party's cause, and Biden ultimately had to start campaigning himself.

Abbott, Cornyn Prove Just How Big a Failure Kamala's 'Border' Photo Op Was.  Kamala Harris got near the border on Friday, but in a game of smoke and mirrors, didn't actually get to the physical border itself.  Instead, she flew into the El Paso airport, 800 miles north of where the real crisis is in the Rio Grande Valley.  She went to a border patrol facility that was about nine miles from the border, then went back to the airport where she met with NGOs, and shelter and legal providers, for about an hour.  She was in and out in under four hours.  Basically, a four-hour layover on her way to California, to quiet any more talk about why she hadn't visited the border.

Evidence Is Clear:  Vice President Harris Is Not Constitutionally Eligible to Hold the Office She Now Holds.  Vice President Kamala Harris is not a natural-born citizen of the United States and is thus ineligible to ever serve as president of the United States, or even to continue in office as vice-president.  That is the contention of a lawsuit filed in federal court in California by the Constitution Association, Inc.  The case was filed while Harris was a candidate for vice president, with the argument in the brief with the court asserting that "at the time of the birth of [Kamala] Harris, the Father of Harris was in the United States as a temporary visitor on a student visa and was not otherwise a lawful permanent resident, and was not, and never has been a citizen of the United States."  Constitution Association (CA) further argues that Harris' mother, Shymala Gopolin, was a "citizen of India at the time of the birth of Harris, the Mother of Harris was in the United States as a temporary visitor on a student visa and was not otherwise a lawful permanent resident, and was not a citizen of the United States, however, many years after the birth of Harris, the Mother of Harris did apply and was granted United States citizenship."

Who Can Be Surprised that Kamala's In over Her Head?  Vice President Kamala Harris had a disastrous trip to Guatemala.  She has received a great deal of criticism from all over the political spectrum.  Fox News host Sandra Smith made a revealing comment on the June 2, 2021 episode of The Five.  She stated that her contacts inside the White House stated that Harris went into panic mode when President Biden announced that he had put her in charge of dealing with the crisis at the border.  Upon hearing that I said, "No surprise."  The president made that announcement as far back as March.  It's now near the end of June.  Harris has still not visited the border and shows no interest in doing so.

House Dem:  This Harris border visit is a joke, you know.  The fact that it took this White House three months — and a threatened visit by Donald Trump to the border — to make such an easy and obvious move is the joke.  Sending Kamala Harris to a relatively quiet part of the border for this box-checking exercise might be the first smart thing Joe Biden and his team have done.  House Democrat Henry Cuellar isn't having any of it, however:  [Video clip]

Kamala Harris doesn't actually visit border, says nothing of substance, leaves — it was all theater.  Kamala Harris went to the border Friday for the first time as vice president, some three months after President Joe Biden put her in charge of the ongoing (and worsening) migrant crisis.  Her visit comes on the heels of a disastrous trip to Guatemala and Mexico last month — a calculated distraction from the historic surge of illegal immigration at the southwest border, which saw more than 180,000 apprehensions in May, a record for that month, and nightmarish conditions at migrant youth detention centers across the country.  Harris was criticized by both Republicans and some Democrats from border districts last month for visiting Central America and Mexico before bothering to see for herself the crisis at the border, which was unleashed by a series of executive orders and policies Biden enacted immediately upon taking office in January.

The White House Knows Its Police And Border Policies Are About To Crash, But Can They Stop It?  Something strange is afoot in the party of Jefferson.  With the Democrats still spinning after the collapse of their election bill — and progressives furious with the White House's seeming lack of commitment to that effort — the president has already pivoted, announcing a plan to tackle the violent crime wave besetting American cities.  And the vice president?  She's on her way to the border, 91 days, two countries, and countless laughs after it was first assigned by the boss. [...] If you get your news from Democrats or their palace guards in corporate media, you might think the White House was forced into this by wicked Republicans and dastardly conservative media.  "Republicans, led by former President Donald Trump, are... attempting to pin the rash of violence on the White House, even though increases in gun violence happened during the previous administration," Politico claimed, as if their readers can't remember a full year of Democratic defund-the-police schemes.

Texas Democrat Criticizes Kamala Harris for Inspecting Border 800 Miles from Crisis Region.  Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) criticized Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday for visiting the the Southern border 800 miles from the crisis region of illegal immigrant crossings.  Cuellar, a Texas Democrat, told Fox News he is sure Harris' "planners" told her it is "politically safer" to go down to El Paso rather than where the crisis is raging in the southern part of the state.  "I'm sure her planners told her that if you're going to go down to the border, go to something that's safer to go to, that is, politically safer," Cuellar said.  "The epicenter is down there in the Lower Rio Grande, the lower part of my district down there.  If you look at the numbers that are down there compared to El Paso, you're not going to get a true picture of what's happening."

Kamala snaps at reporter, blames Trump, faces down protesters and is slammed for landing 800 miles AWAY from the real crisis.  Vice President Kamala Harris snapped at a reporter on Friday [6/25/2021] after arriving in El Paso, Texas, amid intense criticism of the administration's handling of a spike in migration.  Republicans accused her of only visiting the border as a 'pit stop' en route to her California home and waiting until 93 days after President Biden tasked her with tackling the crisis.  After arriving at El Paso airport she was asked why she chose now to visit and said:  'Well, it's not my first trip.  I've come to the border many times.

Kamala's 'Border Visit' Was Smoke and Mirrors, as Protesters Greet Her With Fitting Nickname.  Kamala Harris seems to be met with protesters wherever she goes.  As we reported, she was met by protesters, when she went to Guatemala, telling her to "Go Home."  Now, as she visits El Paso, Texas, protesters are out there for her photo op in the area.  But I'm thinking that wasn't the photo op that she wanted.  The Hispanic, Trump-supporting group of protesters also gifted her with a new nickname, "Que mala," which would translate to "how mean," or "how bad."  A great, short expression of "how bad" she and Joe Biden have been for the border — and for the country in general.  [Tweets with video clips]  Meanwhile, just exactly how many motorcycle cops and police were accompanying Kamala there?  Talk about carbon emissions; she's definitely cornered the market there, with that level of people and gas- pumping vehicles in attendance.  This is the administration that claims they care about that evil 'climate change'?

Kamala Arrives At The Border 800 Miles From The Crisis Epicenter and Protestors Are Waiting To Greet Her.  90 Days since she was tapped as the point person on the Border by the Biden Administration, Kamala Harris finally visits the border.  Her performance in this arena has been so bad, even far-left publications are critical of her actions:  The liberal Los Angeles Times said Vice President Kamala Harris has been ineffective in her role only five months after fawning over her so hard that the paper's coverage was labeled "inappropriate and disappointing."

Kamala Harris's motorcade rolls into her LA neighborhood hours after visit to the border where she snapped at reporter and blamed Trump for the crisis.  Vice President Kamala Harris flew to her Los Angeles home following her much-anticipated touchdown at the U.S.-Mexico border -- 93 days after President Biden tasked her with tackling the illegal immigration crisis.  Harris' overnight stay at her LA home came a few hours after her trip to El Paso, Texas, amid intense criticism of the administration's handling of a spike in migration.  Her visit to the border came 93 days after President Biden tasked her with tackling the crisis.  Her trip to Los Angeles is her fourth since taking office.

Kamala Harris ripped for blaming border crisis on Trump.  Vice President Kamala Harris was the recipient of sharp criticism Friday following her border press conference in El Paso, Texas, in which she blamed the Trump administration for the migrant crisis taking place there.  While answering questions from reporters, Harris proceeded to list various border policies implemented in El Paso by the Trump administration, claimed they had "disastrous effects," and praised the Biden administration for work she claimed alleviated the crisis. [...] Following the press conference, one critic was quick to correct Harris, pointing out that the crisis had actually gotten worse under Biden, seemingly referencing the rollback of Trump administration border rules, which led to historic increases in the number of migrants attempting to make the dangerous journey to cross the border.

Kamala Harris Claims 'Extreme Progress' on the Border as Crisis Grows Worse.  Vice President Kamala Harris claimed Friday [6/25/2021] that she and President Joe Biden had achieved "extreme progress" on the border, despite the growing number of illegal crossings into the United States.  "I call it progress.  We're not exactly where we want to be yet, but we have seen extreme progress over the last few months," Harris said during a press conference after visiting a border facility in El Paso, Texas on Friday.  When Harris first assumed leadership on the border crisis, the number of migrants detained there had reached a 15-year high, with over 173,000 migrants apprehended.  The problem only got worse.  In April, Border Patrol agents and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers encountered more than 178,000 migrants.  In May, CBP encountered 180,034 people trying to enter the border — the most in a single month for the first time in 21 years.

Just as the border trip beckons, two more staffers flee Kamala Harris.  Kamala Harris has been in politics for eighteen years yet still can't quite figure out how to keep staff.  The departure of two top travel advance women, just as she's heading for the border in a hastily announced trip to get there before President Trump does, suggests that things are getting very bad indeed. [...] The [New York] Times tries to convey that the whole thing was pre-planned and just a changing of the guard.  It's similar in style to former State Department biggie Roberta Jacobson's hasty exit from her border coordinator job, shortly after Harris was named Biden's border czar on March 24. Just a temporary job, they claimed, nothing special.  Amazing how they recycle their spin and excuses from one quick staff exit to the next.  Nothing to see here, move along.  The details of the Times report, though, suggest a very different story.

Is Jill Biden Kneecapping Kamala Harris?  redictably, Vice President Kamala Harris' tour of Latin America failed as a debut of her diplomatic credentials and showcased her inability to address the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border.  Worse yet, it provided conservatives with delicious material for a video juxtaposing candidate Harris condemning those who would stop migrants at the border with her recent command to migrants "Don't come."  During the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, the Daily Caller pointed out, "Under the policies outlined by Harris and others ... immigrants could cross the border without fear of major legal repercussions, live and work in American cities without fear of deportation, and receive free health care coverage."  The Democrats, including Harris, now seem to be consuming a hearty dose of crow.  But Harris is the one eating the most.  A friend recently asked me, "did they intentionally throw Harris under the bus?"  It's a fair question.  Placing Harris in charge of the border crisis may indeed have been a deliberate effort to embarrass her by highlighting the sheer unworkability of her open-border position and forcing her to backtrack publicly on her utopian vision.

Why is Kamala Harris going to a border area where most illegal crossers aren't Central American?  Kamala Harris is going to the border.  But not just any part of the border.  The destination of choice for Biden's migrant-surge czar in her quest to find all those "root causes" of illegal migration from Central America is... El Paso.  One problem:  It's not the destination of choice for Central America's illegal border-crossers.  Some do cross there, but most of those apprehended by the lawmen in El Paso come from someplace else.

Kamala Harris Tells Activists to Knock on Doors and Harass People Who Haven't Been Vaccinated.  Kamala Harris told left-wing activists to knock on doors to pressure people to get vaccinated as Biden's July 4th vaccine goal is likely to fall short.  The Biden Admin set a goal to fully vaccinate 70% of Americans by July 4th.  Americans are refusing to get the Covid vaccine for many different reasons, but the Biden Admin is pushing for 70% vaccination so they can wield power over the unvaccinated.  This has nothing to do with saving lives.  It's all about power.

VP Harris plugs Biden's Child Tax Credit as lawmakers wait for border visit.  Vice President Kamala Harris on Monday wore a new hat in the Biden administration — publicizing the expanded Child Tax Credit — while she has taken criticism for failing to visit the border since she was named border czar in March.  Harris took the lead on the campaign to ensure American families know about the tax benefit, which was expanded under the American Rescue Plan, during an event in Pennsylvania on Monday [6/21/2021].  Earlier this month, the White House designated Monday Child Tax Credit Awareness Day to get the word out to the American public.

Joe Biden Is Betraying Our Military.  [Scroll down]  Joe Biden is not known as a supporter of the military.  Robert Gates, who served presidents of both parties as Defense Secretary, has written of Biden's frequent warnings as vice president to Barack Obama that Pentagon brass was not trustworthy.  But Biden also dispatched as climate-threat messenger the vice president, the woman with the notorious cackle who's a single heartbeat from becoming leader of the free world.  He sent her to speak to graduates at the Naval Academy.  She told a military audience a lame but enthusiastic, politically correct story to deliver the same looming climate disaster tale.  "Just ask any Marine today," Kamala Harris said, "would she rather carry 20 pounds of batteries or a rolled-up solar panel, and I am positive she will tell you a solar panel — and so would he."  One person laughed.  Harris herself.  The forced PC message went over like those 20 pounds of batteries among new officers, who don't get to choose what packs they carry anyway.

The Editor says...
Ms. Harris's speech was probably written by someone who has never served in the military.

More trouble for Kamala:  Nina Simone's granddaughter accuses her of taking away the family's estate.  I wonder why this story is appearing now?  With Joe Biden's doddering performance at the G7 and pathetic inability to share a press conference with Putin, Kamala Harris looks even closer to occupying the Oval Office.  But her own performance in office is arguably even worse.  Is someone greasing the skids to ease her out so that Democrats would have a more electable candidate in 2024?

Famous Singer's Granddaughter Claims Kamala Harris 'Bullied' [Her] Mother and Took Away [Her] Estate.  Singer Chloe Bailey put out a rendition of Nina Simone's famous song "Feeling Good" for Juneteenth.  It caused some controversy, because some thought it overly sexualized the song in the video.  But, Simone's granddaughter, RéAnna Simone Kelly, came to Bailey's defense, saying her grandmother would have loved the rendition.  [Tweets]  But, there was a surprising reaction from Simone's granddaughter in the back and forth about her grandmother on Twitter.  Someone asked about who was behind the Simone Twitter account.  That's when the granddaughter went off on former California state Attorney General Kamala Harris, accusing her of seizing Simone's estate from her family and "giving it to white people."

Are We Stuck with Biden?  Why have the media failed to sell Kamala Harris to their viewers as someone ready to jump into Joe's shoes, if his advancing debilitation required it?  There are two obvious reasons for this failure.  One, Kamala Harris was an affirmative action pick for the second spot on the Democratic ticket, who has failed to blossom into something more.  She has not shown herself to be a leader or even particularly intelligent.  She rose to high office accidentally, as the mistress of a onetime powerful legislative leader in California (who is black and Democratic).  She also luckily came from a racially mixed parentage with a Marxist revolutionary academic father, and she made all the obligatory noise on certain social issues.  Every time Kamala is required to say something intelligent or statesmanlike, however, she reverts to teenage giggling and pulls out the usual shtick about prejudice and racism.  Of course, who can blame her?  It is this nonsense that allowed her to win the number-two spot on Biden's ticket, as a vocal, corporeal representative of several designated minorities (aka victim groups).

Photos of Banquet Inside Kamala's House Ignite Firestorm of Online.  We're told by the liberal elites that we are racists because we voted for President Trump.  We're told that because we're not progressive, we're bigots — because only the Democrats know how to be diverse and inclusive people, right?  That's what we're told — day in and day out, over and over, like some kind of verbal waterboarding torture.  Yet, time and time again, we see these liberal elites behaving like racist hypocritical monsters.  And the recent banquet at Kamala's house is a perfect example of that.

Kamala hosted a nice dinner for female senators and the woke mob ate her alive for hanging out with "rich white women" and "being served by Black servants".  The Woke Monster comes for all, and it's coming for Kamala Harris sooner rather than later.  On Tuesday night, the VP held a bipartisan dinner for female senators, which aside from the general political grandstanding, seemed like a nice gesture.  CNN wasted no time offering Kamala glowing praise, quickly fangirling with thinly-veiled enthusiasm:  [Tweet]  Outside the praise from the mainstream media and white suburban moms, the faithful devotees of Wokeism had serious problems with the event:  [Tweet]

If a man did this, it would be called sexist, whether he invited only men or only women.
Vice President Kamala Harris invites all 24 female US senators for dinner at her home.  Vice President Kamala Harris is hosting a first-of-its-kind dinner at her Washington D.C. residence on Tuesday, one where all her female colleagues in the U.S. Senate have been invited.  All 24 of the country's female senators were invited — 16 Democrats and eight Republicans.  The bipartisan dinner will be hosted in the vice president's residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory, marking the first time Harris has hosted lawmakers since moving into her home in April.  Each senator invited must present a negative COVID-19 test to attend.

Kamala Harris Hosts Women Senators for Dinner Party and Cheese Puffs.  Vice President Kamala Harris hosted a bipartisan dinner party Tuesday night [6/15/2021] for women senators at her home at the Naval Observatory.  All 24 women were invited to the dinner but three did not attend: [...] Several of the senators posted photos of the event on social media, thanking Harris for the dinner party.  Sen. Debbie Stabenow revealed that Harris made the cheese puffs herself.

Donald Trump Expertly Trolls Joe Biden and Kamala Harris With Big Announcement on Border Visit Plans.  The Biden administration has faced a tidal wave of legitimate criticisms from Republicans and even some Democrats and mainstream media journalists over Vice President Kamala Harris' continued sidestepping of questions on when exactly she plans on visiting the southern border. [...] Seeing as we're closing in on the three-month anniversary of President Biden first putting Harris in charge of dealing with the border crisis, and seeing that so far neither Biden nor Harris has given any indication as to when they might make the trip down south, former President Trump announced this evening that he has accepted an invitation from a frustrated Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to join him in visiting the Texas/Mexico border.

House Republican presses bill to prevent Harris from traveling overseas before visiting the border.  Iowa Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson appeared on the House floor Monday to press for legislation that would bar Vice President Harris from taxpayer-funded international travel until she visits the southern border first.  Harris, whom President Biden deputized to lead efforts in Central America to eradicate the "root causes" of the massive waves of illegal immigrants heading from there to the U.S. border, has faced strong Republican criticism for not bothering to experience firsthand the crisis she's playing a role in ending.  "This crisis is worsening by the day.  Yet, the vice president has refused to go to the border herself and talk to the brave law enforcement officers, the men and women who are fighting this on the frontlines.  This out-of-sight, out-of-mind approach is a disgrace," Hinson said on the House floor.

Kamala Harris offers new bag of goodies to illegal aliens who've come to the US.  'Do not come, do not come,' as she said on her recent vice presidential trip to Guatemala.  But if you do, she's got some goodies for you.  Which is a whale of a mixed message, one that's likely to reduce her credibility even further than it already has gone.  It's likely to encourage more would-be illegal border crossers to come on in.  Seriously, is offering full legalization to DACA recipients likely to discourage illegal border crossers to stop sending their kids in?  They've alread gotten Joe Biden's word that unaccompanied minors won't be sent back, that's where the soaring child migrant surge, with all the crying kids dumped by smugglers in the desert, is coming from[.]  Why would anyone heed her 'do not come, do not come' exhortation, when now she's showing them that if they do come, they'll get the golden goose?

New GOP bill would block VP Harris from international travel until after she visits Southern border.  U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson took to the floor of the House Monday to push for the legislation, which comes as illegal border crossings and trafficking of migrant children and drugs reached new records last month.  Also, Hinson's call followed Harris' first international trip, which was to Guatemala and Mexico, and focused on the "root causes" of the crisis.  Republicans have blamed Biden's reversal of former President Donald Trump's enforcement policies, which included halting wall construction and ending agreements with Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala to hold or take back migrants.  GOP lawmakers have said Trump's policies, which took shape throughout his four-year term, ultimately led to the lowest level of illegal immigration in decades.

Calamity Kamala Is An International Laughingstock.  [Vice President Kamala] Harris is a total embarrassment who has never succeeded in any position throughout her political career.  As a presidential candidate, Harris departed the race early after a series of pathetic performances in debates.  Her fundraising collapsed and she exited several months before the first presidential caucus.  Biden rescued her from political obscurity when he chose her as his running mate.  As the vice-presidential candidate, she failed to capture the imagination of voters and was fairly ineffective.  In her only televised debate with her Republican opponent, Vice President Mike Pence, she was terrible and lost convincingly.  Her performance as vice president has been even worse, so it is mystifying why Biden would choose her for such an important role as dealing with the border crisis.  In this position, she has been even worse than expected, acting in an arrogant, ill-informed manner that has only exacerbated the crisis.

The Kamala Konundrum.  National Review's Jim Geraghty wondered yesterday whether Biden's political team has deliberately set up Harris to fail, as something of an insurance policy for Slow Joe to get to the 2024 nomination.  This reminds a bit of the line taken in the Nixon years that Spiro Agnew was Nixon's best defense against impeachment, though that didn't work out too well, needless to say.  Here the circumstantial evidence is telling — for its absence.  Upon designating Harris as the "border czar" back in March, Biden said she was "the most qualified person to do it," which is a howler on its face.  Now the White House is saying that Harris "lacks to tools" to affect the border situation quickly; hence the nonsense "root causes" blather that accompanied her trip to Guatemala.  And about that trip: when the president of Guatemala publicly blames President Biden for the huge flow of migrants, it means there was a total failure of advance diplomatic work ahead of Harris's trip.  That is the kind of direct embarrassment that a competent White House knows how to avoid.  Maybe President Ron Klain and "Vice President" Dr. Jill Biden purposely neglected this groundwork?

Kamala Harris Tells Spanish Media U.S. Is A 'Safe Haven' For Migrants.  [Scroll down]  People are flying in from all over the world to cross our border.  Reuters reported last month how Gypsies from Romania are flying in from Paris then meeting up with smugglers in Mexico City to waltz right in:  [Tweet]  DHS head Alejandro Mayorkas and HHS's Rachel Levine appear to be working together to fly these illegal migrants all over the country, targeting red states like Iowa and Tennessee for cultural and demographic enrichment.  [Video clips]  It's all going according to plan.  As Biden said at a White House Summit in early 2015 with Mayorkas at his side, America being flooded with an "unrelenting" "wave" of migrants is something we should be "most proud of."

Kamala Harris makes her Secret Service agents' work hellish.  Democrats are famous for treating the men and women who would take a bullet for them as their personal valet service.  But few seem to be taking it quite to the level that Kamala Harris has.  It ought to be no surprise that she's constantly making life hell for them.  Latest such incident was Harris's insistence on marching in a loud crowd at the gay pride parade in Washington, D.C. [...] As for Harris, well, it was a photo op for her, something to draw the media's attention away from her failed trip to Mexico and Guatemala, and her even bigger failure to visit the border as Joe Biden's border czar in charge of halting the migrant surge.  It was all gravy to her, as if this symbolism and photo op were some kind of substitute for her presumed acts as vice president.  It's kind of unseemly for the sitting vice president in power to go to a protest against her own government, which is at least [partly] the mission here.

Kamala Harris at D.C. Pride Parade:  Transgender Community Must Be 'Protected'.  Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband, second gentleman Doug Emhoff, made an appearance Saturday [6/12/2021] at the Pride parade in downtown Washington, D.C.  During her appearance, Harris spoke to those in attendance and called for the Senate to pass the Equality Act, legislation the U.S. House of Representatives passed in February which would eliminate the legal definition of biological sex, cater to gender ideology, and designate protection for the unborn as "pregnancy" discrimination.

Kamala Plots Marxist Regime Change in Guatemala.  Unlike President Trump, Biden was not going to secure the border.  The border would be wide open and illegal aliens would be dispersed across the country. [...] While the Biden administration got to work making America as poor as possible, Kamala was dispatched to impose Marxist regime change on Latin America in the name of the illegal aliens. [...] Kamala claims to be a black Baptist, is married to a secular Jewish man, grew up attending Hindu temples, and asked an aunt before an election, "Please pray for me, break coconuts at the temple."  It's hard to imagine what she was praying to.  Probably the only one thing she believed in that has come through for her:  Willie Brown.  The media told us that Kamala Harris was a member of Amos Brown's leftist Third Baptist Church.  That's fine, except that the church is in San Francisco, and Kamala has lived in a Brentwood mansion, and the church is in decline due to the lack of black people in the area.

Is Kamala Harris being set up?  Yesterday, I wrote a piece that largely speculated to that effect.  First Lady Jill Biden's "prepping for the G7" photo was just too out of place and her out-sized ambitions have been too transparent.  Connect that with her hatred for Kamala Harris, and things are looking way too deliberate at this point to brush aside as mere chance. [...] Harris has been crashing and burning in regards to the border for weeks.  It's so bad at this point that even the mainstream media are going after her with the kind of veracity you'd never expect.  After all, this is Kamala Harris we are talking about, and critical media coverage isn't supposed to happen.  There's no way a piece like that gets written by CNN without input from the White House.  But here's the thing — all Joe Biden has to do to save Harris is send her to the border.  So why hasn't he?

Reality Bites For Kamala Harris 2024.  The vice president has exposed her paucity of preparedness whenever she has been thrown a 91-mph fastball with a little bit of hair on it.  Perhaps she anticipates an eephus pitch in each interaction with the press, a barrage of "why are you so great?" questions.  When inquiries get a little tougher, she appears to choke under the slightest pressure.  Speaking in an interview with NBC's Lester Holt, Harris was asked why she has yet to visit the border since being appointed in March to grapple with the issue.  "At some point, you know, we are going to the border," she explained.  "We've been to the border.  So this whole thing about the border.  We've been to the border."  Holt interjected:  "You haven't been to the border."  Harris replied:  "And I haven't been to Europe.  And I mean, I don't understand the point that you're making.  I'm not discounting the importance of the border."  Two things:  The U.S. does not share a border with Europe, and illegal immigrants from across the pond represent between 2% and 4% of the total illegal alien population (as of 2015).

Is Jill Biden staging a little coup?  Kamala Harris's short tenure in the Veep's office, in its own way, has been even more disastrous than Biden's equally short tenure in the Oval office.  We all knew Biden would be a bumbling fool, but thanks to the power of the pen and the executive orders the radicals on his staff have been writing, he's been incredibly effective.  In six months, he's dismantled America's security, economy, and sanity.  Meanwhile, Kamala has failed at the one thing for which she was responsible:  Bringing control to the border.  Now, some are wondering if that failure was orchestrated in the White House and if Mrs. Jill Biden was responsible.  We know that Kamala's failed:  Not only hasn't she been near the border but she's also done nothing to change the border status quo.  Now, on her first trip out of the country, she's been insulted and humiliated wherever she's gone.  She's appeared unprepared, confused, and stupid.  It's embarrassing for America but equally embarrassing for Kamala.

Kamala Harris Makes a Trip to an Early Childhood Education School All About Herself.  Instead of visiting the US-Mexico border, Kamala Harris stayed in Washington to promote the Biden Administration's initiatives focused on "free" child care.  Kamala Harris on Friday made a trip to CentroNía, a bilingual early childhood education school in Washington and she made it all about herself.  Harris made the trip all about herself and told pre-schoolers that she's the "first VP who's a girl, not a boy."  Why did Kamala Harris exclude the other 50+ genders?

Let's Face It:  Kamala Harris Just Isn't Very Good At This.  The cookies thing was weird.  The Latin America trip was a mess.  Her border visit answer has changed abruptly.  I've said it for a long time, and I'll say it again:  There's a reason Kamala Harris didn't even make it to Iowa in the Democratic nominating process, despite a splashy rollout and identity-based momentum.  And that reason is that she's just not good at politics.  She's inauthentic, has bad instincts, lacks gravitas, and rubs many people — even allies — the wrong way.  At the conclusion of her first overseas trip, she declared it a success. [...] She's now committing to visiting the border after all, a move she should have made the moment immigration was placed into her portfolio by the president.  She now looks even weaker.  She visited the border for a photo-op as an ambitious Senator and presidential candidate (she called a less severe crisis a "crime against humanity" at the time), then has avoided it like the plague since actually attaining power to handle the crisis.

Kamala Harris Just Keeps Getting Worse.  No matter how mentally diminished President Joe Biden is, you have to be horrified by who waits in the wings should he leave office before the expiration of his term.  Unfortunately, one of the many consequences of Biden's mental decline is an impairment of judgment that manifests itself in such reckless decisions as putting Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of the border.  It is like making a colicky infant the goalie of a professional hockey team.  If Biden were more alert, I would suspect it was his way of seeking revenge against Harris and those who foisted her on to his presidential ticket.  Harris has neither a clue nor a rudder on this critically important issue, which by any fair measure, now must be considered a crisis.  She is a dedicated progressive, and progressives are flagrantly open borders-oriented.  But even more, she is a political opportunist and will say anything to salvage her hemorrhaging reputation.

The Unbearable Lightweight, Kamala Harris.  [Scroll down]  If Harris is trying to lead from behind the scenes, to date, she's doing an awful job.  How about Harris' inept non-leadership with the "border crisis" ongoing?  Come now, there's no border crisis for Democrats.  It was, is, and will continue to be an opportunity to flood the nation with illegals, whom Democrats want to make welfare dependents, maids, yard boys, and their voters.  A sharp, if devious, pol would appear to be leading in this "crisis" while actually not leading.  Harris lacks the chops to create the illusion. [...] The betting here is that Biden is a goner.  It's just a matter of timing.  Do Democrats roll the dice and give Joe the hook before the midterms? [...] Or do cooler heads calculate that Kamala Harris is so terrible, so not a leader, so able to turnoff even rank and file Democrats, that they dare not tempt a huge voter backlash in the midterms?

Biden to Harris:  Disaster 1 to Disaster 2.  In modern times (since, say, 1960 Kennedy vs.  Nixon), there has never been a vice-president or vice-presidential candidate more ideologically radical and more singularly unqualified to be president than Kamala Harris. [...] Conservatives will rightly point out that while [Dan] Quayle had a penchant for saying inopportune things, he was not the ideological extremist that Harris is, nor was he beholden to the farthest reaches of his party the way Harris is and he certainly was not the inexpert, experiential lightweight that Harris is.  With her constant situationally inappropriate hyenalike cackling, her astonishingly unserious, wild proclamations about matters of critical national import (such as her preposterous assertion that "climate change" is a root cause of illegal immigration), and her bizarre narcissistic need for self-promotion as evidenced by her passing out "Kamala Harris" cookies to reporters, it is clear that Harris is nothing more than a hastily cobbled together collection of progressive checked boxes:  Person of Color?  Check.  Female?  Check.  Victim of discrimination?  Check.  Radical ideology?  Check.

Kamala Harris is in way over her head, and everyone can see it.  For a woman who specialized in badgering political appointees with misleading and ambiguously worded questions when she served in the U.S. Senate, Vice President Kamala Harris sure is a hot mess when it comes to answering even the most straightforward inquiries.  Some may call this "ironic."  President Joe Biden's second in command joined NBC News's Lester Holt recently to discuss the biggest issues facing the White House, including the chaos at the U.S.-Mexico border.  Amazingly, Harris, who is heading up the federal response to the immigration crisis, was caught flat-footed by a very simple question about whether she plans to visit the border.  Harris refused to say if she, personally, has any plans to go to the border and instead fumbled about with nervous laughter and some odd non sequitur about visiting Europe.

This Cackling Bufoon Is One Heart Attack Away From Being President.  Vice President Kamala Harris falsely claimed that "we've been to the border" when pressed on why she has not yet visited the southern border after being tasked by President Biden to handle the "root causes" of migration.  During an interview with NBC News Tuesday [6/8/2021], Harris, who has been criticized by Republicans for not making the trip to the U.S.-Mexico border, was asked whether she had any plans to do so.  [Video clip]

Biden administration was 'perplexed' at Kamala's snippy Mexican press conference answers over whether she will visit the border.  Even the Biden administration appears to be baffled by Kamala Harris' trip to Guatemala and Mexico to address the border crisis.  White House insiders were 'perplexed' by her answers to her questions over whether she would visit the Rio Grande and 'hoped her first foreign trip would be a success', CNN reported.  Officials also fear that any progress she made during her meetings with the Guatemalan and Mexican presidents may be undone by her mixed messages and terse encounters with reporters.

Univision Fangirling of VP Harris at Mexico Presser, or MAJOR Security Breach?  When "María Fernanda from Univision" took the mic on Tuesday night [6/8/2021] and asked Vice President Kamala Harris a flattering question to cap off her trip to Mexico, it seemed like Univision's sycophantic day had taken a turn for the worse.  But the truth might be far worse than what it seems.  Watch as "Maria Fernanda from Univision" asked what seemed like a question totally in line with Univision's editorial line, "I voted for you" aside:  [Video clip, transcript, tweets]  Further complicating the issue is the fact that Univision Mexico City correspondent Jésica Zermeño was on site at the Harris press conference (who retweeted Coronell's statement).  Given all these elements, we are faced with one of only two possible scenarios which are, by degrees of exponential magnitude, far worse than the original "Univision reporter fangirls over Kamala, says 'I voted for you'" story:
  •   Coronell's statement is true, in which case we are talking about a MAJOR security breach and vetting failure from the Secret Service, Mexican state security, and the White House press team (led by former CNN political commentator Symone Sanders)
  •   Coronell is lying, in which case (as my colleague Curtis Houck pointed out) Univision has a major journalistic scandal on their hands.
This is a developing story with multiple angles, and we will keep you posted as they unfold.

Kamala Harris's Useless Speech in Guatemala.  [Scroll down]  When Candidate Biden and Candidate Harris promised to cease all border-wall construction, immediately end family separation, suspend all deportations for 100 days, "end prolonged detention," "end workplace raids," and create a path to citizenship for everyone currently living in the U.S. illegally, Central American migrants and the coyotes interpreted that as "The border is open."  It doesn't matter if they never spoke those specific words; this was the conclusion that the migrants came to because Biden and Harris never wanted to talk about enforcing immigration laws on the campaign trail.  In 2019, then-candidate Harris declared her intent to use executive orders to end deportations and create a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.  How angry can you be at Central American migrants for believing Harris meant what she said?

Inappropriate Laughter, Kamala Harris Cannot Respond to Border Visit Question.  There is absolutely nothing, not one thing, in the curriculum vitae of Kamala Harris that qualifies her for any elected office; she genuinely is not intelligent, coherent, or able to think rationally about issues or events.  Some have likened her to the "female Obama", but that's unfair to Obama.  Harris is even more profoundly over-her-head than Obama was.  At least Obama had the skillset to be able to fake it in public.  Harris's tell is the introduction of laughter, inappropriate laughter, cringeworthy awkwardness, when she is in the uncomfortable position of having to articulate any issue of importance that she just doesn't comprehend.  Harris has soundbites, rehearsed talking points, that she has trained herself to remember during public engagements.  However, as soon as someone pushes her on the details of those talking points, she stutters, stammers and eventually starts laughing as a deflection.  It is the most transparently obvious trait of a 'poser' without any qualification for the position.  Stunningly so.  [Video clip]

Oh Please!  ABC Spins Kamala Harris as 'Clear,' 'Blunt,' 'Direct' Border Hawk.  Get ready for the new spin from the corrupt network media:  Kamala Harris, border hawk!  After burying the ongoing crisis, ABC and CBS on Tuesday laughably morphed the Vice President into a "clear," "blunt," "direct" tough talker when it comes to the emergency.  Only NBC offered a different take, shocking viewers by calling out Harris's lie that "we've" been to the border.

Pressed on lack of border visit, Harris retorts she hasn't 'been to Europe' either.  Vice President Kamala Harris compared her decision not to visit the southern U.S. border to not yet visiting Europe, arguing her task to stem migration to the southern U.S. border is about addressing root causes of the immigration surge.  "We're going to the border.  We've been to the border," Harris told NBC News's Lester Holt in an interview from Guatemala City when asked whether she planned to visit the U.S.-Mexico border.  (She was referring to other Biden administration officials who have been there.)

The Strongest Perfume Cannot Cover the Stench of Kamala Harris' Incompetence.  I cannot fully express what an embarrassment Kamala Harris is:  to women, to Black achievement, and to anyone who has worked hard in life to garner a reputation for excellence, integrity, and consistency.  Harris is like a bad odor that everyone tries to pretend doesn't exist, while everyone smiles through gritted teeth and fans the air. [...] Even her cackle had to be borrowed from someone else.  The mark of a poll-tested, manufactured entity is the absence of authenticity, and Harris is devoid of it.  However, the stench of her vacuity was overwhelming in an NBC interview with Lester Holt.  Surprisingly, Holt did not allow Harris to dodge and cackle, but gently pressed his point.  [Video clip]

Biden throws his clueless vice president under the bus.  Kamala Harris is playing a historic role in 2021: the nation's first black, Asian, female vice president to serve as a sacrificial lamb.  Like many other women before her, Harris has been tasked with coming in late to clean up a mess made by her boss.  Joe Biden probably wouldn't do too well in a "Jeopardy!" contest, or even on a circle-a-word puzzle, but he's smart enough to know that when you've got a problem you can't solve, you should grandly announce a plan to deal with it by... fobbing it off on someone else.  Alas, unlike Barack Obama's plan to cure cancer by announcing that Joe Biden would cure cancer (yes, that really happened), Biden's buck-passing set up Harris for a spectacularly visible failure.

Harris criticized on social media after passing out cookies with her face on them.  Vice President Kamala Harris was criticized on social media Monday after she passed out cookies to journalists that featured her face.  USA Today White House correspondent Courtney Subramanian brought attention to the sweets when she tweeted a photo of the cookies that closely resembled Harris. [...] The baked goods quickly drew ire and mockery from conservative pundits on social media.  "As a former Military Aide during the Clinton administration, I never even imagined this level of narcissism," wrote Buzz Patterson, a candidate for Congress.

Kamala Harris didn't bake the cookies bearing her likeness, White House says.  The White House said Monday that Vice President Kamala D. Harris didn't bake the cookies in her likeness that she handed out to reporters on Air Force Two during her flight to Guatemala.  "Cookies that were provided to passengers on Air Force Two on Sunday were a gift from a member of the staff," a White House official told reporters on condition of anonymity.  "The vice president wanted to make sure the cookies were shared with everyone."  The frosted cookies, decorated with a likeness of Ms. Harris, complete with her hair style and a strand of pearls, were handed out to journalists traveling with the vice president on her first trip abroad.  She is visiting Guatemala and Mexico to address the "root causes" of a surge in illegal migration to the U.S. from Central America.

VP Harris hands out faceless Kamala cookies on plane: 'Siri, what does narcissism look like?'.  Somehow, it's only fitting that Vice President Kamala Harris handed out cookies in the shape of her likeness to the press pool as she embarked on her diplomatic trip to Guatemala and Mexico — cookies complete with a pearl necklace, but no face.  Equally fitting, given the circumstances, the flight was forced to return to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland about 25 minutes after it had taken off because of a "technical issue," according to senior adviser Symone Sanders, who said there were no major safety concerns.

Anyone notice how haggard Kamala Harris looked in Guatemala?  Kamala Harris is under some kind of pressure.  It's hard to say what, given the working thesis (first seen in a tweet by Newt Gingrich) that Joe Biden appointed her to the position of border czar because he knew she would do nothing.  But it's pretty obvious there were signs of strain in her face as she met with the president of Guatemala on Monday and then held a dual press conference.

'Bo Snerdley' rips 'narcissist' VP Harris for doling out selfie cookies while crimes, suffering run rampant at border.  "Bo Snerdley," a.k.a.  James Golden, who served as the late Rush Limbaugh's producer and call screener during his decades-long talk radio career, ripped "narcissistic" Vice President Kamala Harris for passing out 'selfie cookies' en route to with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei as hordes of migrants, along with drug smugglers and sex traffickers, continue to inundate the U.S.-Mexico border under her watch.  Golden made his comments during an interview with "Fox News Primetime" host Tammy Bruce on Monday in response to Harris handing out faceless "Kamala Cookies" that otherwise resembled her to members of the media who were traveling aboard Air Force Two.  "How narcissistic do you have to be, if you are going to hand out cookies, to hand out cookies that are clearly supposed to be of yourself — with no face," said Golden.  "Meanwhile, she has never been to the southern border.  We have an emergency at the border.  We have human suffering in proportions that are horrid happening every single day.  We have American agents risking their lives every single moment."

Harris border-czar flop:  Guatemala president blames Biden, AOC objects.  Maybe Kamala Harris should have gone to the border instead.  Joe Biden put the Vice President in charge of handling the migrant crisis, but later claimed he meant that Harris would lead the diplomatic effort to resolve it.  Not only has Harris not improved matters, she made it worse — both abroad and domestically.  The debacle began with protests on Harris' arrival, but it didn't get any better with her main diplomatic mission.  Guatemala president Alejandro Giammattei accused Biden and Harris of creating the crisis at the border by broadcasting "welcome" messages to his people.

Guatemalan President Places Blame for the Border Crisis Right Where It Belongs With an Assist from Ted Cruz.  Kamala Harris flew to Guatemala yesterday [6/6/2021] to talk with their officials about the "root causes" of the border crisis in our country.  Harris showed how narcissistic she was by handing out cookies with her face on them to the reporters on the plane.  Then, when she landed in Guatemala, she was met by protesters with big signs saying "Trump Won," and "Go Home."  Harris and Joe Biden have been trying to put the blame for the massive influx at the border, which resulted in a 21-year monthly high in border detentions in April, on issues in places like Guatemala.  She's trying to place blame everywhere else, except where the blame really lays, with their own words and policies.  Now she is in Guatemala saying that doing things like going to the border to actually see how bad it is in person would just be a "grand gesture."

Kamala says she WON'T visit the border because it would just be a 'grand gesture' at Guatemala press conference.  Kamala Harris finally revealed Monday that she does not plan to visit the southern border because it would just be a 'grand gesture' as opposed to a genuine trip as she warned illegal migrants they are not welcome in the U.S.  During a press conference in Guatemala, more than 2,000 miles away from the Rio Grande, she vowed to take on corruption and insisted climate change was one of the driving forces behind people fleeing their homes and heading North.  'On the issues of Republicans' political attacks or criticism or even concerns, the reason I am here in Guatemala as my first trip as vice president of the United States is because this is one of our highest priorities,' Harris said during a question and answer portion of her press conference with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei.

Kamala Harris Greeted In Guatemala With 'Go Home' and 'Trump Won' Messages.  Vice President Kamala Harris' much anticipated "foreign policy" trip to Guatemala to meet with leaders there about what can be done to stem the influx of illegal immigrants that are crossing into the U.S. from that country, got off to a bad start with Air Force 2 having to turn around because of "technical issue" and was then being greeted by pro-Trump, anti-Biden Guatemalan protestors. [...] But after boarding a new plane and taking the 4 1/2 hour flight to Guatemala, protestors were at the Guatemalan Air Force base waiting for the vice president with open arms and signs.  Big signs.  One sign simply stated, "Kamala, TRUMP WON," another told the vice president that "Guatemala as pro-life," and another want to her to "go home."

This article sounds very similar, but not identical, to the one above:
Kamala Harris Humiliated During Her First Trip Abroad To Guatemala And Mexico.  Vice President Kamala Harris' first trip abroad to Guatemala and Mexico got off to a rocky start Sunday [6/6/2021], when a technical issue grounded the plane after about 30 minutes into the flight. [...] Harris switched planes before continuing on to Guatemala City.  This is what we heard from the mainstream media:  some minor plane issue and nothing more.  Well, our "VP" suffered a huge embarrassment that wasn't reported by our mainstream media!  Protestors were at the Guatemalan Air Force base waiting for the vice president with open arms and signs.  Big signs.

Is Kamala Harris's mission to Guatemala and Mexico crashing and burning?  For some, the aircraft malfunction of Kamala Harris's jet on her first flight abroad as Joe Biden's vice president to get at all those root causes to "solve" the border surge was kind of an omen.  After all, the jet malfunction could have gone undetected, or been put there by some Democrat insider, happening just as anonymous Democrat operatives are moaning aloud to the press about their dread of Harris becoming the next Democratic presidential candidate.  One wonders if Harris recalls the aircraft accident that took down former Clinton commerce secretary Ron Brown.  It's speculation, based on the miasma of events, none of it moored by fact.  What it symbolizes, though, is far harder to deny:  Kamala Harris's mission to Guatemala and Mexico is looking like a disaster.

Kamala Harris and a High-Risk, High-Reward Presidential Resume.  Is Kamala Harris drawing the shortest straws in the White House?  This week, President Joe Biden announced that Harris would lead the administration's effort to protect voting rights, a task he immediately said would "take a [...] lot of work."  And Sunday, Harris leaves for her first trip abroad, visiting Mexico and Guatemala as part of her mandate to address the root causes of migration from Central America that are contributing to a surge of people trying to cross the U.S.' southern border.  The central political question facing Harris has never been whether she will run for president again.  It is when and how.

Is Kamala the best feminism can do?  One hundred years after women attained suffrage, the current political female zenith is someone who nervously cackles when she speaks on any topic, and is reticent to visit the very border she is charged with overseeing as a result of Biden's deliberate illegal immigration open arms policy.  There were only two criteria for a Democrat vice presidential candidate in 2020: female and a minority.  Of all the potential options, Democrats decided on an unpopular failed presidential candidate, whose time as a California attorney general was marked with abject racism against Black men who committed the "heinous" crime of smoking marijuana.  No matter — she fit the identity politics the left now regards as qualifications for every possible position.

The Kamala Harris cringe continues.  Vice President Kamala Harris had one job:  Be the woman of color Joe Biden needed at his side to win the presidency.  That job was completed in November, and now, it's clear that Harris doesn't know what to do with herself.  A New York Times story on Thursday [6/3/2021] attempted to make something out of Biden's recent announcement that he was appointing Harris to lead his administration's efforts to dismantle all the ways that states organize their elections.

Panic turned up to 11: Kamala Harris aides fear she will run for president.  'Panic' seems to be a way of life for Kamala Harris's aides.  Just this week they were reported to have been in a over 'panic' at Kamala Harris being named Joe Biden's border surge czar.  Now they're in an even bigger panic.  That's at the prospect of Kamala Harris being the Democrat presidential candidate in 2024.

Report: Kamala Harris Regularly Briefed on Border Crisis Despite Refusing Responsibility.  Vice President Kamala Harris is reportedly regularly briefed on the border crisis, but refuses to accept responsibility for it.  A Biden administration official told CNN that White House officials regularly brief the Vice President on the border crisis, "as she prepares to depart for a trip to Guatemala and Mexico next week as part of this project."

The Editor says...
This sounds a lot like a taxpayer-funded junket.  The problem isn't in Guatemala.  The problem is at the U.S. border.

After Border Debacle, Biden Picks Kamala To Push 'Voting Rights Reform'.  Vice President Kamala Harris has a knack for having her career advanced by others, despite continual abysmal performance as a public official.  Unfair, you say?  How else can you describe someone who fails so badly at one job, and then is immediately rewarded with another job of even greater importance?  There are lots of definitions out there for "failing upward" but probably the best comes from the "Simplicable" website, which calls it "a common feature of cronyism" in which members of a "social group continue to promote and reward each other despite an ongoing string of failures."  Could anything better describe Harris' political career, especially her latest turn as President Joe Biden's "immigration czar"?  The most polite thing you can say about Harris' so-far brief tenure as border czar is that she's done little to make things worse.  That's largely because she's a political cipher, picked precisely because she wouldn't do a thing to stop illegal immigrants from crossing our borders.

Kamala Harris Runs from the Border.  The Democratic Party sure has come a long way from "the buck stops here."  This administration is visibly desperate to avoid images of what is happening at the border, to the point of blocking congressional Republicans from investigating firsthand the conditions in which migrants are being held.  Harris clearly wants to be able to just organize a list of résumé-building "accomplishments," rather than be judged on whether those things actually have any tangible results: [...] No wonder she and her aides, already grappling with her manifest unpopularity, really do not want to have her measured against any yardstick beyond just showing up for work — and at the border, she won't even do that.

Kamala Harris's aides reportedly in 'panic' after Joe Biden made her his migrant czar.  Apparently, no one in the Kamala Harris camp was thrilled when Joe Biden fobbed off onto her the job of stemming the surge at the border. [...] "Most qualified" was definitely a joke, which would be the best explanation as to why they could panic.  Some of course, told CNN she was actually thrilled, but let's just say the publicity-loving, selfie-taking Harris's failure to visit the border or hold any press conferences tells a different story.  The staff argument, though, that it might be misconstrued, and become a public relations problem, is pure nonsense.  You can't solve a border surge by ignoring a border, Republicans noted in the report, so the claims that Harris was onto some separate issue from that was happening at the border, and that there was absolutely nothing to learn from people on the ground at the border, whether they were Border Patrol agents or actual migrants, is horse hockey.  That nonsense was easily discernable by the Republicans the report said the staffers were panicking about, if for nothing else than their criticisms resonated with voters.

Biden Just Gave Kamala Harris Yet Another Job.  During a speech in Tulsa, Oklahoma Tuesday [6/1/2021], President Joe Biden announced the appointment of Vice President Kamala Harris to ensure the Democrat's latest election power grab, through H.R. 1 and other bills, gets past the Senate and onto the Resolute Desk for signing.  [Tweet]  "President Joe Biden asked me to help lead our Administration's effort to protect the fundamental right to vote for all Americans.  In the days and weeks ahead, I will engage the American people, and I will work with voting rights organizations, community organizations, and the private sector to help strengthen and uplift efforts on voting rights nationwide.  And we will also work with members of Congress to help advance these bills," Harris released a statement after the announcement.

Joe Biden Must Not Like Kamala Harris Because He Just Assigned Her Another No-Win Job.  Does Joe Biden have it in for Kamala Harris?  It would seem so.  He seems intent upon assigning her jobs that are guaranteed to fail, based on how the Biden team approaches the questions.  First, he assigned her responsibility for the border, as we reported, which is a complete and utter mess.  Now, if they had just left President Donald Trump's policies in place, they would have been in pretty good shape.  But they blew all those up and created a disaster.  Kamala, of course, did nothing to solve it.  She didn't even go to the border, that's how interested she was in it and when asked, just cackled.

Harris' team says dealing with the border is not her job and focus is only on 'root causes' of migration.  Vice President Kamala Harris' was tasked by President Biden with dealing with the crisis at the US-Mexico border, but now she's distancing herself from that crisis she cannot solve.  Harris' team explained that Harris isn't supposed to be dealing with the border, that this was never her job.  Instead, she's meant to handle the "root causes" of migration.  For Harris, those include climate change and violence against LGBTQ people.  White House reporter Natasha Bertrand told CNN that Harris' "team has come out and said publicly:  'Look, we do not own the issues at the border, we are not managing the issues at the border, this is for the Secretary of Homeland Security, this is for the people on the NSC who are dealing explicitly with this issue in the United States.  The Vice President is going to be dealing exclusively with diplomacy.'"

Kamala Harris's Navy.  Vice President Kamala Harris delivered the commencement address at the United States Naval Academy on Friday [5/28/2021]. [...] Harris told the graduates they should excel at pursuits such as developing artificial intelligence, robotics, and other technologies.  Military expertise proved quite valuable during the pandemic, she said, noting, for example, that "naval researchers figured out how to use 3D knitting machines to make masks."  But Harris paid particular attention to "a very real threat to our national security" — climate change.  "You are ocean engineers who will help navigate ships through thinning ice," Harris said in her only acknowledgment that the Navy has any sort of relationship with the world's oceans.  "You are mechanical engineers who will help reinforce sinking bases.  You are electrical engineers who will soon help convert solar and wind energy into power, convert solar and wind energy into combat power.  And just ask any Marine today, would she rather carry 20 pounds of batteries or a rolled-up solar panel?  And I am positive she will tell you a solar panel, and so would he."

Laughable: Kamala Harris's big corporate 'root causes' plan for Central America.  So in her quest to find all those root causes for the current migrant surge into the U.S., Kamala Harris has focused on Central America, where two-thirds of the illegal aliens pouring over our border are coming from.  And not surprisingly, instead of going to the border and asking a border surger about it, or even doing diplomacy, as she claims, she's got big plans to bring in huge corporations and NGOs to the region, kind of like the United Fruit Company, which lefties in the past have complained about.  It's downright laughable.

On Memorial Day weekend, Kamala outdoes Obama's self-centeredness.  Obama earned rightful derision for the fact that, no matter the occasion, his tweets were always about Obama.  Memorably, when he marked the 58th anniversary of Rosa Parks's refusal to sit on the back of the bus, his tweet, rather than picturing Parks, pictured Obama on the bus, gazing wistfully out the window.  However, at least he acknowledged the occasion.  Kamala Harris took things to a whole new level when her Memorial Day tweet had a picture of her smiling, along with the breezy message to "Enjoy the long weekend."

Harris slammed for 'long weekend' tweet that doesn't mention Memorial Day.  Vice President Kamala Harris is being criticized for a tweet telling people to enjoy their weekend without mentioning Memorial Day.  "Enjoy the long weekend," Harris tweeted Saturday [5/29/2021], along with a picture of herself.

America hasn't seen this level of clueless and unmitigated narcissism in the Executive Branch since ... the last Democrat president!

Kamala taps Microsoft and Mastercard to help the 'root causes' of migration.  Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday [5/27/2021] issued a call for public-private partnerships to create incentives for people to remain in their Central American homelands, teaming with companies who invest in the region.  Twelve companies and groups including Microsoft Corp, Mastercard and Nestle's Nespresso on Thursday will commit to making investments in Central America — a win for Harris as she aims to lower migration from the region into the United States.  She issued the call as part of her effort to address the 'roots' of migration — even as she resists calls be critics to visit the border.

White House:  No plans for Harris to visit border despite disturbing illegal immigrant video.  The White House on Monday [5/24/2021] reiterated that immigration czar Vice President Kamala Harris has no plans to visit the border — as new video shows a group of about 50 illegal immigrants overwhelming Border Patrol agents in Texas on Sunday, in the latest example of the ongoing crisis on the southern crossing.  Despite the alarming footage, White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Monday said Harris, who was appointed by President Biden to oversee the border in March, still has made no arrangements to surveil the situation in person and talk to local officials there.  "I expect she will make a trip to the Northern Triangle at some point soon.  So that would be where she would travel given her purview," Psaki said when asked during her daily briefing if the veep would go to the area.

Rep. Gaetz:  Has the Transition to Harris Already Begun?  Rep. Matt Gaetz says the transition of power from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris may already be underway.  After Rasmussen reported half the country does not believe Biden is mentally or physically up to the job, Gaetz told War Room not to expect Biden to be around long.  "I think it is reasonable to ask if the transition to Harris has already begun," he said.  After Rasmussen reported half the country does not believe Biden is mentally or physically up to the job, Gaetz told War Room not to expect Biden to be around long.  "I think it is reasonable to ask if the transition to Harris has already begun," he said.

A new book savagely attacks Obama from the left.  [Scroll down]  Both Biden and Kamala got reverential treatment, but it was nothing like Obama.  Biden was grandfatherly, experienced, kind, and stable, and he'd learned his White House politics under Obama's aegis.  Kamala was brilliant, multi-racial and multi-cultural, female, and compassionate.  Kamala was sold especially hard because everyone understood that Biden, no matter what he said, wasn't in it for the long haul.  She was obviously going to be the real president, even before Biden inevitably withdrew and she got sworn in.  But as noted, something's been happening with the Democrats.  They should be a jubilant party joyously imposing Marxism on the land, but, instead, they're angry, and they're starting to turn on each other.

Democrats Bewildered at the Unpopularity of Kamala Harris.  Democrats have been flogging the image of Kamala Harris for more than six months, trying to show Americans why she should be popular, and the public isn't buying it.  The efforts and the expectations of success by Democrats say a lot about the party and their myopic view of the voters, which has cost them dearly during the last three national elections.  A party that tells most voters they're "racist" and says those same ordinary people must be cleansed of their "systemic racism" and delusions of "white supremacy" shouldn't have to wonder why people don't like them very much.  But the Democrats keep doubling down — as they did with Harris.  The vice president is among the most unpopular vice presidents in modern history and, true to form, Democrats can't figure out why on earth that might be true.

Harris Calls COVID an 'Opportunity to Transform' America as We Know It.  The Democrat Party has known for decades it must patch together disparate groups if it is to remain a competitive national political party — people of color, the LGBTQ community, (liberal) women, et al. — and today, of course, illegal immigrants (future Democrat voters) enthusiastically recruited by Biden to stream across the border unchecked.  If we've learned anything over the last five years, it's that today's Democrat Party is not the Democrat Party of not all that long ago.  Democrats are now hellbent on destroying America as we know it, and "pragmatic moderate" Kamala Harris is among those leading the charge.

When Even the Woke Aren't Woke Enough.  The Olympics might not happen this year (again), but the Woke Olympics continue unabated.  The latest entrant to the competition is the Vice-President of the United States, Kamala Harris.  Well, not the Vice-President herself directly, but the victim groups in the Democrat Party fighting over claiming her as their own and her by proxy through the left-wing media.  Harris qualifies for a special medal for being both a victim and a perp in the progressive game of victimization.  Politico ran an unintentionally hilarious and telling piece that offered a peek into how the modern Democrat Party works.  It's title, "How Kamala Harris became a victim of the barriers she broke," is perfect — only a leftist can couple accomplishment with oppression.

Kamala Harris, not Biden, called king of Jordan to discuss Gaza ceasefire.  Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday [5/20/2021] spoke to Jordanian King Abdullah II on behalf of President Biden to brief him on US efforts to support a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict.  Biden has not spoken with the Arab nation's leader since Hamas began firing rockets last week from Gaza into Israel following clashes in Jerusalem.  "I spoke with Jordan King Abdullah II to reaffirm our support and express our commitment to continued close cooperation," Harris wrote on Twitter.

Kamala Harris keeps assets in tax-advantaged trust, appearing to violate own ethics pledge.  Vice President Kamala Harris keeps assets in a tax-advantaged family trust, a move that appears to violate an ethics pledge she and President Biden made on the campaign trail.  According to Harris' financial disclosure form released Monday, she has been a trustee of the KDH/DCE family trust since 2017.  The trust's assets "are not reportable," according to the filing, effectively obscuring some of the vice president's holdings from public view.  The trust is inconsistent with Biden and Harris' campaign plan to crack down on such vehicles once in office.

What Kamala Harris Has Learned About Being Vice President.  [Scroll down]  Harris has been an elected official for 18 years straight, but she has only a few senior aides on staff who have worked for her for more than a few months.  Turf battles have been a recurring feature of Harris offices over the years, but her newest circle believes it is finally getting her on track after years of past staffers not serving her well.  Some have been surprised at how much work there is to be done, whether that's briefing her on certain policy issues or helping her improve her sparring-with-journalists skills.

Kamala Harris can't keep staff.  [Steven] Hayward is right about politicians who can't keep good staff onhand and that being a bad reflection on their capacity to lead.  Eric Hoffer once noted that the reason Stalin was able to best Trotsky for the supreme leadership of the Soviet dictatorship was because of his capacity to retain the loyalty of a group of able lieutenants.  Kamala, while certainly wanting to be dictator of a vast left-wing empire, same as Stalin, hasn't grasped that critical element that allows such things to happen to whoever eventually ends up being the most equal animal.  Biden has — he has some very long-serving lieutenants, such as Secretary of State Tony Blinken, and he seems to have forged some kind of closeness to far-left Susan Rice from the Obama administration days, too.  There are plenty of others.  Kamala, though, seems to be poison to staff and apparently, they flee when they they get a chance to flee.

Kamala Harris has an enemies list of the press.  Like Nixon, Kamala Harris has an enemies list.  It's comprised of media characters who "don't fully understand her or appreciate her life experience," writes Edward-Isaac Dovere in the Atlantic Monthly, noting her self-absorption.  Instead of go to the border, or do her job as vice president, seems she's replaced concerns about her home decorating with seethings about reporters who don't gush as enthusiastically about her as she'd like them to, and like Nixon, or Hillary Clinton, she's keeping score.

Report:  Kamala Harris Keeps Enemies List of Journalists Who Don't 'Appreciate Her Life Experience'.  Vice President Kamala Harris keeps a list of reporters and other political types who might be racist, according to a profile published in the Atlantic on Monday [5/17/2021].  "The vice president and her team tend to dismiss reporters.  Trying to get her to take a few questions after events is treated as an act of impish aggression," writes Edward-Isaac Dovere.  "And Harris herself tracks political players and reporters whom she thinks don't fully understand her or appreciate her life experience."  That list presumably includes the people at Vogue magazine, who managed to enrage libs by putting Harris on the cover earlier this year.  It remains unclear why the libs became enraged; Harris was wearing her signature Converse kicks and everything.  According to Dovere's reporting, Harris judiciously monitors the words journalists use to describe her.  "She particularly doesn't like the word cautious, and aides look out for synonyms too," he writes.  "Careful, guarded, and hesitant don't go over well."

Our Democrat Rulers Can't Be Serious.  Kamala Harris, our no-show southern border czar, has staked out the position that somehow climate change is responsible for causing the overwhelming influx of illegal aliens to the south.  I won't even attempt to summarize her reasoning, because it is so flagrantly contrived and dishonest that it makes the word "disingenuous" look trustworthy.  Granted, with her penchant for hyena-like uncontrolled cackling outbursts at socially inopportune times and her remarkably inarticulate, unintellectual manner, Madame Vice President is not exactly the picture of a serious anything.  Yet, even by her admittedly low standards, trying to foist blame for this administration's utter failure at the southern border on something so conspicuously unconnected to illegal immigration as so-called "climate change" is the perfect illustration of everything about the "Biden" presidency that is so frighteningly imbecilic.

Kamala Harris Under Fire For Supporting Border Closure She Once Opposed Under the Trump Administration.  In 2020, then-Sen. Kamala Harris was among the 10 Democratic senators who signed a letter to former Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf, accusing the Trump administration of violating federal law in using the pandemic as justification for closing the border with Mexico.  As vice president, however, she now supports that provision, Politico reports.

Kamala's woke niece Meena urges people to fight 'Palestinian oppression' by Israel if they care about women's and LGBT rights.  Kamala Harris' niece has raised eyebrows with an Instagram post urging people who care about LGBT rights and women's issues to defend Palestine — despite the country's rulers being among the most repressive in the world.  Meena Harris, a 36-year-old lawyer and businesswoman, on Wednesday night [5/12/2021] shared her opinions, re-posting a widely-shared image discussing the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.  Harris has, in the four months since her mother's sister became vice president, managed several times to ruffle feathers in the White House — both with her new clothing brand, that Biden administration lawyers told her came too close to profiting from her aunt, and with an ill-advised tweet about a mass shooting.

Everyone Hates Kamala Harris.  The Biden administration is uniquely unstable.  It's got a weak and erratic political hack at the top who may be barely there half the time, but whose presence helps sell the idea that the Obama administration 3.0 is actually moderate and liberal, when it's really leftist and extreme.  Biden is a joke, but Democrats need him at the top.  Especially because he promised to pick a black woman and instead he picked Kamala.  Kamala is supposed to be a trainee president, taking meetings with foreign leaders, and being put in charge of everything, but the public still hates her making it quite likely that she would not be able to win a presidential election even as an incumbent.  48% of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of Kamala Harris while only 41% have a positive one.  Even among Democrats, 1 in 5 don't like her.  84% of Republicans don't like her and that's not surprising.  But 57% of Independents don't like her while only 32% do.  These are catastrophically bad numbers.  She's not winning a presidential election with this level of unfavorability.

Is Kamala Harris in open rebellion against Joe Biden?  Sure looks that way.  Seven weeks after being named Biden's border czar, she's in some sort of defiance against the job Biden gave her and racking up failures.  The attorney general of Arizona is calling on Biden to fire her. [...] But all signs are there that Kamala is far from the most able manager.  She in fact, seems so incompetent she's rebelling.  One, she hasn't visited the border, which has seen 178,000 illegal entries by foreigners into the U.S. in April alone.  No photos of her and overcrowded migrant shelters to generate some possibly unfavorable news coverage, quite apart from what she's already gotten for nonperformance.  [Joe] Concha also notes this:  ["]Harris might also have to answer questions about why she once seemingly compared ICE to the KKK and argued that illegal border crossings should be legal.["]

Arizona attorney general urges Biden to remove Kamala Harris as 'border czar'.  The Arizona attorney general urged President Joe Biden to remove Vice President Kamala Harris as the border czar in a letter Wednesday [5/12/2021].  Attorney General Mark Brnovich requested in his letter that Harris be replaced as the overseer of the border due to the ongoing migrant crisis.  Brnovich criticized Harris for not making a visit to the border and called her response to the crisis a "slap in the face" to the citizens of Arizona.

Kamala's first foray into international diplomacy does not go well.  Six weeks ago, Biden announced that his co-president... er, vice president, Kamala Harris, would be responsible for dealing with the border.  This was an impressive call, given that one week before that appointment, Kamala, when asked about the border, had disclaimed any knowledge about it.  Peculiarly, after getting that appointment, Kamala pointedly ignored the border.  Instead, she had "a snack" at a bakery in Chicago, and generally traveled anywhere she could in America that wasn't close to the southern border. [...] She just wouldn't go there.  Finally, six weeks after taking on the responsibility for dealing with illegal aliens swarming the southern border, Kamala announced that she would meet with the presidents of Mexico and Guatemala. [...] Except nothing went well.  Kamala, whom I've always been told by people who know her, is as dumb as a box of rocks with the personality of an arch narcissist, managed to leave President Lopez Obrador in a towering rage, furious at American machinations and deeply offended when she simply walked out on him.

Newsmax TV's Emerald Robinson says colleague told her it's 'only a matter of time' before Harris takes over.  Newsmax TV's White House correspondent Emerald Robinson dropped a bombshell during a Friday segment on host Greg Kelly's show, reporting that networks have altered how they are covering President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in anticipation of the latter being elevated to the Oval Office in the not-too-distant future.  For the past week, Robinson has appeared nightly on Kelly's program to report on "different aspects of the White House" with a particular emphasis on "who's running it" based on a comparison of Biden's "relatively light schedule on most days" versus Harris's "increased role," in addition to "other former Obama administration players who are now part of" the current administration, Robinson reported.  The Newsmax TV correspondent then noted that, earlier in the day during briefing, she told White House press secretary Jen Psaki that several outlets — including some on the left like The Hill and The New York Times — were asking "is this [former President Barack] Obama's third term."

Kamala Harris Doesn't Care About Solving the Border Crisis.  With the exception of those who may have glanced at the February edition of Vogue magazine or recently browsed the New York Times style section, we have not seen or heard much from Kamala Harris since she was sworn in as the 49th vice president of the United States on January 20.  We did, however, learn from the Washington Post that Harris likes to crochet and that she recently "learned about a special hand-dyed yarn" after visiting a knitting shop in Alexandria, Virginia.  On March 24, the vice president's low visibility seemed likely to change when President Biden tapped Harris to lead the ongoing border crisis that has spiraled out of control since his Executive Orders (EOs) on immigration have reversed many of former President Trump's immigration policies, including Trump's "zero tolerance" stance on prosecuting illegal border crossings.  Harris is the "most qualified person" to lead the effort, Biden said after anointing the vice president the border czar.

It Got Serious In A Hurry.  Joe Biden aspired to mediocrity in his prime and it's been downhill ever since.  As for Kamala Harris:  some are born hacks, some achieve hackness, and some have hackness thrust upon them.  She's all three.  They and their string-pullers have taken things from fun to serious — deadly serious — in a little over two months.

There Is No Crisis.  Among the biggest elephants in the White House briefing room is the border.  Until recently, press secretary Jen Psaki just told the truth about it.  "There is no crisis at the border," she said.  And of course there isn't, from where she stands. [...] Biden appointed Kamala Harris to "stem the migration," noting that she wouldn't need to check with him before taking action.  She didn't.  The next morning, Harris changed her mission altogether: she would instead be "addressing root causes."  Seven weeks later, history's most autonomous vice-president hadn't visited the border, but had already determined the root cause of illegal immigration: climate change.  Also, corruption, violence, and poverty.  The people, she told us, had lost hope.  Her job was to bring hope back, so they wouldn't want to leave and come here.

Kamala Harris says Biden is sending an extra $310 million in aid to Central America where 'corrupt' governments are motivating migrants to head to the U.S. in record numbers.  Kamala Harris revealed Tuesday [5/4/2021] the U.S. is sending millions in aid to Central American countries and blamed 'corrupt' governments for the surge in migrants heading north at her first public event as 'border czar' — five weeks after she was given the job.  'The United States has announced we will send an additional $310 million to the region,' she said.  The vice president's comments come as the administration plans push Congress to pass a bill sending $4 billion in aid to Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador over the next four years.

Kamala's Not Looking So Good Lately.  Kamala Harris hasn't been looking well lately.  She gave a maskless interview to CNN's Dana Bash a week ago, and she looked much more jowly and wrinkly than she did just three months ago, when she took the oath of office. [...] During a meeting with "top immigration officials" on March 24, Mr. Biden gave Mrs. Harris the job of sorting out the border problem.  She hasn't hurried to do any border czarring since then, but we know she's not going to visit said border and witness firsthand the mayhem and destruction happy slappies from every country on the planet are causing for everyone at, on, or around the southern border.  The fact that border states are declaring emergencies and suing the Biden administration goes unmentioned.  She gave a snide-snippy-snap answer to Adam Sexton's legitimate question on Friday (I'm paraphrasing): "Why are you in New Hampshire pushing infrastructure when you should be at the southern border?"&nb sp; "I'm not going to play political games," she huffed, and changed the subject.

Kamala Harris:  Violence Against LGBTQ People and Afro-Descendants a 'Root Cause' of Migration Crisis.  Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday [4/27/2021] highlighted violence against minority groups as a "root cause" of migration that she wanted to tackle in Central America.  Harris hosted a video conference call with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei Tuesday afternoon to discuss the migrant crisis, calling out violence against "women, Indigenous people, LGBTQ people, and Afro-descendants" in the country. [...] Harris said the United States had a responsibility to improve living conditions for Guatemala.

The Editor says...
Since when is the U.S. responsible for the deplorable living conditions in Guatemala — or any other country?  The United States is not just a gigantic homeless shelter for everyone who's uncomfortable in their native land.  Let them clean up their own countries!

Questions for Kamala: 
Madame Vice President, in your view, what is the purpose of the U.S. border?
Are you aware of any countries that maintain a border policy like the one the Harris-Biden Administration is implementing?
In 2014, then-Vice President Joe Biden said the foreign nationals coming to the United States in caravans were "already Americans."  As the current vice president of the United States, is that also your view?
When Central American parents send minor children to the border in the company of smugglers, does that in any way constitute child abuse?
Are you opposed to human trafficking?
Are you in favor of admitting any foreign national to the United States without screening for COVID-19 or any other disease?
Are you in favor of admitting any foreign national with a criminal record to the United States?
Are you aware of how many foreign nationals are now present in the United States illegally?
Should any foreign national illegally present in the United States ever be deported for any reason?
Should foreign nationals illegally (or legally) present in the United States ever vote in any U.S. election?
Should foreign nationals illegally present in the United States ever receive benefits funded by U.S. taxpayers?
Why in your view is the United States the preferred destination of migrants when countries such as Costa Rica, Panama, and Cuba are much closer?

Kamala's Kinsley gaffe on border policy.  On whose behalf does Kamala Harris work?  She seems to have unintentionally provided the answer yesterday.  Liberal pundit Michael Kinsley gained a degree of immortality when he wrote, "A gaffe is when a politician tells the truth — some obvious truth he isn't supposed to say."  Yesterday, VP Kamala Harris, speaking about her planned video meetings today with Guatemalan "community leaders," revealed her true priorities, and they don't make the interests of American citizens her top concern:  [Video clip]

Not yet:  Forty-three percent have 'very unfavorable' view of Kamala Harris and split on her being president.  America is not quite there yet on Vice President Kamala Harris, with a sizable viewing her unfavorably and the nation overall split on her becoming the first female president.  In the latest Rasmussen Reports survey, 51% have an unfavorable view of her.  And most, 43% expressed a "very unfavorable" opinion, a sour note to her debut on the world stage today as she addresses the United Nations Monday on the global coronavirus crisis.  Rasmussen noted that a majority of likely voters do not believe that she is qualified to take over for President Biden.

The Editor says...
[#1] Chances are, Harris's unfavorability rating is far higher than is being reported.  That's one reason why the Democrats had to resort to fraud, in order to win the 2020 election.  [#2] Hardly anyone thinks Harris is qualified to take over as President, but Joe Biden isn't qualified either.  That's why the country is being run by a committee of anonymous Biden advisors.

Supreme Court Seems Primed to Reverse Kamala Harris's Attack on Free Speech.  On Monday [4/26/2021], the Supreme Court heard arguments in the key First Amendment case Americans for Prosperity v.  Rodriguez, which centers on the State of California's requirement that nonprofit organizations disclose their donor information to the state.  Back in 2015, then-Attorney General Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) demanded that two conservative nonprofits, Americans for Prosperity (AFP) and the Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), hand over their donor lists.  This demand threatened to reveal the identities of donors, potentially subjecting them to threats and harassment.  Legal representatives for AFP and TMLC said the Supreme Court justices' questions and remarks suggested they are likely to strike down California's requirement as an unconstitutional violation of the First Amendment.

Kamala once again displays signs of a weird personality disorder.  There's something off about Kamala Harris.  And no, I'm not talking about her hard-left political beliefs, the lies she tells, or her endless reinventing herself for political advancement.  In that regard, she's just another leftist politician.  What's bizarre about Kamala is her inappropriate laughter about things that ought to inspire solemnity.  What makes laughter inappropriate?  It's inappropriate when you're speaking to a crowd and you're the only one who laughs.  Of course, that can also happen to a bad comedian, but there's no indication in the clip below that Kamala was trying to tell a joke.  Instead, Kamala is talking about the massive economic disruption thanks to the lockdown that the Democrats hammered into America.  In that context, she meant to say that 2 million women had been driven out of the workforce, misspoke by saying "people," corrected herself by saying "women people," and then giggled inanely.

Air Force None — Video Surface Where Kamala Goes Up The Stairs But The Plane Appears To Be Missing.  Shortly after a video emerged of Vice President Kamala Harris not saluting troops while boarding Air Force Two on March 19 in Georgia, some users took to social media to claim that she had disrespected the military and violated protocol.  The viral video being shared on social media shows the vice president at Dobbins Air Reserve Base near Atlanta heading up the stairs on Air Force Two.  Harris is seen walking by two military escorts who are standing at the bottom of the stairs saluting, without her returning the gesture.  One user shared the video to Facebook on March 23 with the claim, "DISGRACEFUL: Vice President Kamala Harris refuses to salute the honor guard at the steps of the aircraft.  It is a clear demonstration of her dislike for those in uniform, both law-enforcement and military."

How did Kamala's book end up in welcome bags for unaccompanied minors in California?  Kamala Harris hasn't visited the U.S.-Mexico border to get an up-close and personal look at the crisis manufactured by her administration.  Joe Biden named her as his Border Czar yet she laughs off questions as to when she might schedule a visit.  Her book, however, has already made it to the border and is packed into welcome bags given out to unaccompanied minors at a Long Beach, California shelter.  "Superheroes Are Everywhere" was published in January 2018.  Harris wrote the book, a picture book that currently sells for $11.85 (marked down from $17.99) on Amazon.  It is recommended for children 3 [to] 7 years old.  The book was spotted in welcome bags put together for unaccompanied minors as they arrive at the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center, a recently converted influx facility, along with basic hygiene supplies and clothing.  How did this happen?  The White House feigns ignorance.  When Fox News inquired, a Biden administration official said they were not aware of this and then threw local volunteers under the bus.

Unaccompanied Alien Children Given Copy of Kamala Harris Book Upon Arrival — Same Process Baltimore Mayor Was Arrested For.  Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh was arrested for using her authorship of a book as a pay-to-play scheme for personal financial gain.  In what appears to be a similar situation, unaccompanied alien children (UAC's) are being given a book authored by Kamala Harris. [...] You can be sure that if Trump books were being purchased with taxpayer funds to be distributed to thousands of people, the leftists would immediately demand an investigation.  However, when Kamala Harris does it... crickets.

First Biden t-shirts, now Kamala Harris children's books handed out to border insurgents.  Now that the illegal migrants are fanning out across the country, they're not just getting free Biden t-shirts on the Mexico side, they're getting free "welcome packets" at a new Long Beach migrant shelter as a reward for their illegal entry, like a party favor for making it across, and certainly a sales tool for human smugglers to use to whip up more "business" to keep the surge coming.  Don't come here now, [says] Joe, but if you do, start with this welcome packet here in Long Beach.  Who is doing the welcoming?  Well, perhaps the packet itself will offer a clue:  It includes not only a new backpack, shoes, toiletries, and clothing, but a 2019 children's book with a retail value of $17.99, authored by none other than Vice President Kamala Harris, titled "Superheroes are Everywhere."

They could be, but they won't.
VP Kamala Harris:  Migrant surges 'not going to be solved overnight'.  Vice President Kamala Harris said Sunday [4/25/2021] a mix of aid and diplomacy will make progress in stemming the migrant surge, but she lowered expectations for an immediate fix, saying the flight of people from Central America to the southern U.S. border is "not going to be solved overnight."  President Biden put Ms. Harris in charge of dealing with the migrant surge, which has become an early and visible challenge for the administration.  The White House has pointed to cyclical surges at the border, though some migrants have cited Mr. Biden's own policy changes for coming.  Ms. Harris hasn't visited the border, though she has traveled extensively around the U.S., sparking criticism.

Kamala isn't at the southern border — but migrant kids are getting Veep's book.  Vice President Kamala Harris hasn't been to the border to address a crisis she was tasked to help fix — but a children's book she wrote is waiting there for young migrants who are being welcomed into the country.  Unaccompanied migrant kids brought from the U.S.-Mexico border to a new shelter in Long Beach, Calif., will be given a copy of her 2019 children's book, "Superheroes are Everywhere," in their welcome kits.  It's just the latest open-arms gesture by the Biden administration, whose mixed messaging regarding the border and immigration has been credited with the surge from Central America to the U.S.-Mexico border.  Border czar Roberta Jacobson last month conceded that the Biden administration's messaging to migrants has been inconsistent, contributing to the unprecedented surge.

Conservative Group Targets Kamala Harris with 'Wrong Border' Newspaper Ad.  Vice President Kamala Harris made a trip to New Hampshire Friday where she was greeted by Republican Gov. Chris Sununu and a newspaper ad criticizing her unwillingness to travel to the southern border.  The ad, which has been purchased by the Independent Leadership for New Hampshire PAC, features a photo of Kamala with a headline that reads, "Madame Vice President, you're on the wrong border."  "Over 2,000 miles away, a humanitarian crisis on the nation's southern border demands your attention," the advertisement states, including facts about the crisis at the border, like "172,331 border apprehensions in March alone" and "Over 20,000 unaccompanied migrant children in U.S. custody."

Biden & Harris Rail Against Criminal Justice System They Helped Create.  In a joint speech delivered from the White House Tuesday evening [4/20/2021], President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris responded to the guilty verdict reached in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.  Speaking first, Vice President Harris remarked that "Today we feel a sigh of relief," adding that "a measure of justice isn't the same as equal justice," before stating "we still must reform the system."  [Tweet]  And Vice President Harris knows the system.  The former San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general had her record within the system laid bare by then-Rep. Tulsi Gabbard during a 2020 Democratic primary debate.  [Tweet]  Failing to mention her own work on behalf of the system, Harris invoked her work on the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, alongside Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Representative Karen Bass (D-CA).  "America has a long history of systemic racism," stated Harris.  "Black Americans and black men, in particular, have been treated throughout the course of our history as less than human."  Criminal justice reform is, of course, a relatively new pastime for the Vice President.

Kamala Harris:  It's Our Job to Honor Thug Who Robbed Pregnant Woman at Gunpoint.  Goodbye MLK, hello George Floyd.  At the White House, Biden and Kamala Harris got into a tough competition to out-pander and out-mob each other over the wrongful jury verdict in the overdose death of George Floyd, a career criminal who had robbed a pregnant woman at gunpoint.  Senator Kamala Harris set the tone by declaring that, "We are all a part of George Floyd's legacy, and our job now is to honor it and to honor him."  Really.  It's now the job of all Americans to be part of the legacy of a vicious thug and to honor his legacy.  How can we best honor George Floyd's legacy?  Maybe we should have a George Floyd Day and use it as a national purge in which the police leave the streets and everyone gets the right to rob a pregnant woman at gunpoint.  That's what George would have wanted.

Kamala Harris comes out of the woodwork with her plan to solve all those 'root causes' of migrant surge.  After appearing on milk carton memes from Republicans mocking her as AWOL in being Joe Biden's border crisis czar, Kamala Harris has dropped her crocheting, snacking, and home decor battles to bring herself out of the woodwork.  Wednesday [4/14/2021], she held a press conference and Zoom-like roundtable on just what she plans to do about the migrant surge at the border, looking for all those "root causes." [...] Where does that sense of entitlement to live in the U.S. come from in these surging illegal migrants?  Who gives it to them?  Maybe it comes from radicals in Joe's own party?  It would explain why Kamala doesn't want to find out what she should find out of the root causes of the border surge straight from the illegals themselves.  She wouldn't be publicly comfortable with the answer.  Because yes, that's a root cause — an amazing sense of entitlement to live in the U.S. without waiting in line, let alone contributing, a "right" to partake in the life of the U.S. and all proffered benefits.  No, the border is dirty and dusty and full of political hazards with cameras as migrant surgers come in at the unguarded border under some of the most inhuman conditions.

Jen Psaki calls 'confusion' surrounding Kamala Harris' role in dealing with the migrant crisis 'perplexing' as she says immigration policy has never been a 'one-woman' job.  White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday [4/15/2021] that the 'confusion' surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris' role in dealing with the migrant crisis is 'perplexing,' arguging immigration policy has never been a 'one-woman' job.  During Thursday's briefing, a reporter pointed to criticism of Harris coming from Republicans and asked if the White House viewed the vice president's diplomatic role as being 'disconnected' from the border.

Harris: Visiting border isn't my job; veep says she's focused on 'root causes' instead.  Vice President Kamala Harris said Wednesday she has no plans to visit the U.S. southern border but she's looking forward to a trip soon to Mexico and Guatemala to address the core causes of surging migration from Central America.  She also cautioned that her work isn't likely to show noticeable results anytime soon.  "It will take some time to see the benefits of that work," Ms. Harris said.  "These are not issues that are going to be addressed overnight in terms of the root causes."

Biden's Team of Racists and Anti-Semites:  An Anti-American Coalition in the Heart of the White House.  Formally introducing his cabinet to the public, Joe Biden proudly declared:  "This is the first [time] in American history that the cabinet looks like America." Looking at the actual appointments and not just the gender, skin color, and ethnic origins of the Biden team, it is a team that may look like America but doesn't think like America.  In fact, it is a team whose outlook is anti-American.  Take Biden's vice-presidential choice, Kamala Harris, whose antipathy for America oozes from her every pore.  At a February 2019 presidential campaign stop, for example, she said Columbus Day should be replaced with "Indigenous People's Day" because "we are the scene of a crime when it comes to what we did with slavery and Jim Crow and institutionalized racism in this country."  This is an accurate summary of the way the Biden White House views its native land, and it is a view encapsulating three big lies.

Kamala Harris:  Black Women in the US Are More Likely to Die in Connection with Child Birth Because of Racism and Implicit Bias.  Kamala Harris on Tuesday [4/13/2021] said black women in the US are more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications because of "systemic racial inequities."  "Black women in our country are facing a maternal health crisis," Kamala said.  "Black women are 2-3 times more likely to die in connection with child birth than other women.  "We know the primary reasons why — systemic racial inequities and implicit bias — and the consequences are both very real."

The Editor says...
If black women have more trouble during maternity and childbirth, systemic racism isn't the problem.  It is far more likely that their difficulties arise from a lack of prenatal care.  I don't think it is an exaggeration to say that low-income women use the nearest hospital emergency room as their primary doctor, and don't show up at that doctor's door until they're about to give birth, at which point they can't be turned away.  If there are any complications, racism has nothing to do with it.

Arizona Attorney General Says Kamala Harris Won't Respond to His Border Tour Invitation.  Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich aimed at Vice President Kamala Harris over her lack of doing anything after being appointed by President Joe Biden to address the border crisis.  During an interview on Fox Business with anchor Dagen McDowell, Brnovich said Harris has failed to respond to his invitation to tour the crisis at the US-Mexico border.  "I guess if you were a philosopher you would say no response is a very loud response because we've not received any response," Brnovich said.  Harris needs to "look into the eyes of people being smuggled across the border, being exploited by the cartels and realize this is a humanitarian crisis on so many levels," Brnovich said.

VP Harris is hiding because she's got nothing to say.  President Biden is leading the league in not answering questions.  VP Harris is not doing much better.  As you may remember, Biden put VP Harris in charge of the border situation. [...] Where is Madam Vice President?  I don't know for sure but let me give you a couple of thoughts:  First, the vice president was blindsided.  It was probably Biden thinking out loud.  I think that they would have done a joint press conference and Harris would have done most of the talking.  In this case, I think that she literally learned about it on the spot.  Second, Harris has nothing to add to the story.  In fact, this is a lose-lose situation for her.  I don't think that she wants to be administration spokeswoman on a policy that makes no sense.

Kamala Harris' run from the border.  Another day, another several thousand migrant families and unaccompanied minors for our border security personnel to deal with.  (Or to not deal with in many cases, sadly.)  So what happened to our point person on the border  crisis  "seasonal uptick?"  It's been nearly three weeks since President Biden either appointed or anointed Kamala Harris to take charge of the situation.  Surely an historic figure like the Vice President must have things nearly wrapped up by now, right?  I mean, how hard could it be?  As it turns out, however, the veep has had too many other pressing items on her plate to attend to so she hasn't even made a physical visit to any portion of the border, to say nothing of announcing any successes or even plans.  As Miranda Devine points out today at the New York Post, not all of Harris' public duties appear to be focused on getting any actual work done.

VP Harris' response to migrant crisis borders on the absurd.  It's humiliating for the president that almost three weeks since he appointed Kamala Harris as his border point-woman she still hasn't visited the disaster zone, come up with a plan or held a press conference on the migrant crisis.  Instead, she's visited a water-treatment plant in California and a bakery in Chicago, where the press pool reported on her sweet tooth last week.  "Her favorite is German chocolate, and [she] gets that for her birthday each year, and her staff had pre-ordered a slice for her.  The bakery's specialty is caramel cake, and she said she was looking forward to that too."  Riveting stuff.  Meantime, the self-inflicted humanitarian tragedy at the southern border has spiraled out of control, opinion polls are heading south, the Biden appointee in charge has abruptly resigned, El Salvador's president has refused to meet the visiting US envoy, and the VP is defying her boss and staying far away from the stinking mess to protect her reputation.

Arizona AG says Kamala Harris is refusing to visit despite being named border czar.  Arizona's attorney general said Thursday [4/8/2021] Kamala Harris has not responded to his requests to visit the crisis-hit border, as Republicans released video of migrants crossing the Rio Grande just a few feet behind them.  'I guess if you were a philosopher you would say no response is a very loud response because we've not received any response,' Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said in an interview with Fox.  Harris was named border czar last month by President Joe Biden as the administration faces a growing emergency with record numbers of illegal immigrants arriving in the U.S. and border facilities quickly becoming overcrowded and understaffed.

Kamala Harris gets 'a snack'.  For a vice president to "get a snack" (food police note: a non-nutritional one she probably wouldn't eat in private) takes a lot of pre-planning and time coordination from the Secret Service, the White House schedulers, the limo drivers, the press and other organs of administration.  She can easily 'get a snack' just by commanding one of her aides to procure it as is normally done, just ask Amy Klobuchar about that one.  It was obviously done for the cameras, given that it was a South Side Chicago bakery, which was likely black-owned.  The idea, of course, was to demonstrate that Harris, far from being a rich elitist scion of a Jamaican-origin Stanford professor dad, and an India-born professor/researcher mom who moved her from rabidly leftist fever-swamp Berkeley, California, to spend the other parts of her childhood in Canada, was actually a down-with-it African-American who always eats sugar-bomb treats same as much of the rest of the community (but somehow doesn't get fat).  It was Potemkin theatre to whip up black voters, same as she did with those pork things campaigning in lily-white Iowa, and apparently little else.

When President Harris Breaks the Glass Ceiling (and Everything Else).  Kamala earned her law degree from the University of California, Hastings College of Law, which she attended via its Legal Education Opportunity Program (LEOP). The LEOP was a program designed to help those from disadvantaged backgrounds achieve the dream of a law degree.  As both of Kamala's parents were merely un-tenured professors, this program was a godsend.  Early in her career, Kamala met Willie Brown, former mayor of San Francisco and speaker of the California Assembly.  Kamala was a politically ambitious 29-year-old.  Willie was a married 60-year-old power broker in California politics.  It was love at first sight.  While dating her, Willie gave Kamala appointments to the state Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board and later to the California Medical Assistance Commission.  In 2002, Harris ran for the office of district attorney of San Francisco.  With the endorsement of Willie Brown and legal scholar and comedian Chris Rock, Kamala easily won the election.  As the self-proclaimed "top cop" of San Fran, Kamala implemented a tough-on-crime policy seeking maximum sentences for marijuana possession.  She even implemented a groundbreaking strategy of criminally prosecuting parents of truant children.  The cleanliness and safety of 21st-century San Francisco is a testament to Kamala's leadership.

Kamala Harris Pledged To Visit Border 'At Some Point,' But Two Weeks Later White House Has No Update.  Vice President Harris said in late March that she will visit the U.S. southern border, but two weeks later there is still no update on when that trip will happen.  White House press secretary Jen Psaki said she didn't have "any trips to outline or preview" when asked if Harris had scheduled a trip to the border.  Harris was designated as Biden's point person to deal with what the White House describes as "root causes" of the border crisis in March.  "I don't have any trips to outline or preview.  What our focus is on is solutions and ensuring we have more beds, we're making processing more efficient and effective and that we are addressing this in a humane way that keeps these kids as safe as we possibly can," Psaki said at a press briefing on Wednesday.

Republican House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy demands Kamala Harris attend FBI briefing on border crisis after two Yemeni men on the watchlist and a MS-13 member were caught crossing into the US.  House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy wants Vice President Kamala Harris to address the capture of two Yemeni nationals on the terror watchlist who crossed into the U.S. from Mexico.  McCarthy told Fox News that he requested a classified briefing from the FBI and CIA on the matter and said Harris should attend.  'I know she hasn't been to the border,' McCarthy told Fox.  'I don't know if she's ever been briefing on this, but I think it'd be important that all leaders, because this isn't about Republican or Democrat, this is about the security of our nation.  And everybody should be making sure our nation is secure.'

A bakery, a water plant and her LA home:  Everywhere Kamala has flown in the 14 days since she was placed in charge of migration crisis.  Kamala Harris has still to visit the US-Mexico border or even hold a press conference about her new duties in the two weeks since being tasked with addressing the migrant crisis.  The Vice President spent Easter weekend at her Brentwood home in Southern California where she baked a 'beautiful' roast pork with rice and peas, but did not find time in her schedule to visit the nearby border.  In the past two weeks she has also visited Connecticut for a talk with the Boys and Girls Club of New Haven, traveled to Oakland to meet with Gavin Newsom to show support amid his potential recall election, and made a trip to a bakery in Chicago.

'The VP is allowed to get a snack': Jen Psaki snaps at reporter who asked why Kamala visited Chicago bakery but not the border.  White House press secretary Jen Psaki fired back at a reporter who questioned why Kamala Harris went to a Chicago bakery when she still hasn't addressed the mounting crisis at the border.  'She got a snack,' Psaki quipped.  'I think she's allowed to do that.'  New York Post reporter Steven Nelson acknowledged during Wednesday's press briefing:  'As we discussed here today, Vice President Harris is put in charge of addressing the root causes of the border crisis.'  'She hasn't visited the border or Central America or spoken with leaders of El Salvador or Honduras,' he noted.  'She was traveling this week, took time to visit a bakery in Chicago.  I'm wondering, is she still working on this and can you address the perception that she's sort of quietly backing off while Secretary Mayorkas is pursuing some Trump-era policies?'

Kamala Harris Isn't President, But She Just Got a Big Presidential-Seeming Symbol.  Kamala Harris isn't President.  At least not yet.  But it sounds like she's just been given one of the indicia of the office, a desk made after the manner of the famous Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.  It's actually not given to her personally but to the office.  Navy Seabees built one desk for her office and another for the Secretary of the Navy, according to Military.com.  The desk for Harris is designed with patriotic carvings of eagles and stars and is made of wood, copper and nails off the USS Constitution, one of the country's first frigates, the oldest commissioned warship still afloat.

Nets Cheered 'Important New Job' for Kamala at Border, Crickets as She's MIA Now.  Despite being given the task of "speaking" for the Biden administration on the crisis at the border, Kamala Harris hasn't given a news conference in almost two weeks.  On March 24 and 25, ABC, CBS and NBC were all excited for the Vice President's "important new job" of trying to "stem the surge of migrants crossing the southern border."  They hyped it on six different shows.  But now that she's basically absent, they don't care.  As Fox News's Sam Dorman reported on Monday [4/5/2021], "Since the beginning of the administration and a week after Biden's announcement, Harris has fielded questions from the media but has yet to hold a formal news conference."  Now the networks haven't objected to this or mentioned her disappearance.  Yet, on the March 24, CBS Evening News, Margaret Brennan trumpeted, "Tonight, Vice President Kamala Harris has an important new job:  Leading the administration's effort to stem the surge of migrants crossing the southern border."

Biden Is Unhappy That Baseball Fans Will Be Able to Enjoy Some Baseball.  You'd be hard-pressed to get Joe Biden to offer an update, opinion, or even a single fact about the border.  That's a huge mess.  It's his job for that not to be a huge mess.  The border is a national security issue.  He handed it off to Kamala Harris more than a week ago.  She laughed when the media asked if she was going to the border, then laughed at parents who want their kids back in school.  Laughing at problems has been Harris's chief public contribution to the administration so far.  Biden's chief contribution has been to make terrible decisions and get Americans to argue about them.  Unity!

Kamala's Husband Hosts the Virtual Passover From Hell:  The Biden administration is ruining everything.  So it must ruin Passover.  After twenty minutes of dead air, Biden's Virtual Passover got underway.  Biden, who can only be counted on to remain coherent for short stretches of time before launching into a random tirade, only showed up briefly.  And that was the only good thing about Virtual Passover.  Virtual Passover, like the Biden administration, makes no sense.  But the Biden administration can't be expected to ruin every aspect of our lives, without also ruining Passover.  Kamala Harris had been delegated to take over the border crisis, and so her husband, Brentwood entertainment lawyer, Douglas Emhoff, took over the job of ruining Passover.  Dubbed a "Virtual Passover Celebration", it was not a celebration, it had nothing to do with Passover, but it was virtual.  The one thing that the Biden administration can be relied on is to be virtual.  And by being virtual, to offer nothing real.  Passover wasn't going to change that.

No presidency anymore.  Joe Biden is president in name only.  He is the warm-up act for Kamala Harris, who will assume the title of president of the United States whenever Biden begins (figuratively or literally) to drool so openly that the absurdity becomes too much to bear, even for his handlers — at which time Kamala will eagerly and triumphantly prance into the office.  Even Harris, however, is a blundering incompetent when it comes to the skills required of a president.  Skilled actress that she is, she can play the part on screen but will rely entirely on Biden's scriptwriters to formulate and execute policy.  Figurehead Kamala will not be permitted by the real rulers to do anything more than pretend to be president.  One wonders, then, who are the people who comprise the secret cabal, the puppeteers?  Who are the ones actually setting policy for the nation?

Psaki says VP Harris isn't in charge of border crisis, just 'root causes'.  President Biden's big announcement that Vice President Kamala Harris is in charge of the crisis at the US-Mexico border was apparently just some "confusion" — and she is merely tasked with addressing its "root causes," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday [3/29/2021].  Psaki issued the stunning clarification less than a week after Biden told reporters that he was delegating one of the most pressing issues of his young presidency to the veep.  "The vice president of the United States will be helping lead that effort, specifically the root causes — not the border, there's some confusion over that," Psaki said during her daily press briefing.

The Editor says...
The root causes appear to be the U.S. welfare-state gravy train, halting the construction of the border fence, absence of the National Guard and the U.S. Army at the porous border, "anchor baby" laws, Spanish-language broadcasting, unlimited wire transfers ("remittances") of money to the folks back home, and free medical care 24/7 at the nearest hospital emergency room.   Vice  President Kamala Harris isn't going to do anything about any of it.

Kamala Harris' schedule shows Team Biden's true border priorities.  Is anyone here in charge?  President Joe Biden last week tasked Vice President Kamala Harris with leading the White House response to the near-record surge of migrants crossing the southern border.  Yet her schedule doesn't have a single immigration-related meeting.  Why doesn't Harris seem to be doing anything to solve what she now calls "a huge problem"?  White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday "clarified" that the veep is only in charge of diplomacy to address the problem's "root causes."  Huh?  Did it really take nearly a week to set the record straight, or did the president change his mind?  Maybe Harris decided she didn't want the job.  After all, leaked administration documents show that frontline agencies expect the number of unaccompanied children crossing to soon double (again) to far above record levels.

Kamala Harris Musters Fake Accent, Laughs Hysterically When Discussing Struggling Parents Who Aren't Able to Send Their Kids to School.  Kamala Harris laughed hysterically when discussing struggling parents who aren't able to send their kids to school.  Harris delivered remarks at the West Haven Child Development Center in West Haven, Connecticut this weekend.  Kamala Harris mustered a fake accent and cackled as she spoke about parents who struggled to educate their own children due to school closures thanks to Democrat policies and toxic teachers unions.  What is wrong with this woman?  [Video clip]

The meaning behind Kamala's cackle.  Video emerged of Kamala Harris recently speaking about the problems parents face when their schools are closed but they can't afford childcare.  This is a serious issue with massive repercussions for children's development and for working mothers.  So what did Kamala do?  She cracked herself up, laughing so hard she could barely get the words out.  What the heck is going on with that woman?  Here's the video, so that you can see I'm not exaggerating.  For some reason, Harris finds it inordinately funny that parents and children are suffering, even as she backs away compulsively from her audience:  [Video clip]  Obviously, this is not the first time we've seen Kamala laugh uncontrollably and inappropriately.  A few more examples show that it's a go-to behavior for her.

The Editor says...
Evidently co-president Harris learned this behavior from Hillary Clinton.  When faced with a tough question, for which she has no answer, Hillary stalls for time by bursting out in inappropriate laughter, as she struggles to think of the most believable (not necessarily truthful) response.

Kamala Laughs Again:  This Time Over Parents Who Want Their Kids in School.  I very seriously doubt that Kamala Harris plays poker, as she has that annoyingly obvious "tell."  I'll call it her "Hackle."  Our friends over at Legal Insurrection said as much when she was just a Vice Presidential candidate.  Oh for those halcyon days!  When Harris is flat out lying, she breaks into that awful Hackle.  She simply cannot help herself.  I wouldn't even describe it as "peals of laughter".  That sounds far too joyful.  This is a maniacal cackle, akin to a voodoo priestess rubbing her hands together in glee over her latest curse.  Harris lacks the erudition skills of a Bill Clinton or a John Edwards, so she does not have the word facility for a credible sounding comeback.

Kamala Harris ignores border, focuses on mansion renovations.  Kamala Harris, who is famous for her giggling, is suddenly frowning these days.  Reportedly, she's upset at the speed of vice presidential mansion renovations, and somehow being homeless at Blair House, is frustrated with 'living out of suitcases.' [...] She's upset at living out of suitcases?  At the luxury digs of Blair House, which has its own hair salon?  There's a solution for that — she can move back into her own $1.7 million condo down the road off ritzy Dupont Circle, bought by her and her husband as part of their $8 million real estate portfolio.

Kamala Harris MIA during border crisis:  Where is she?  The Biden administration is putting out a call for government volunteers to report for duty amid the significant surge at the border, but many are asking, Where is the person deputized to 'fix' the line-in-the-sand crisis?  As the immigration mess at the southern border gets more and more out of hand, Vice President Kamala Harris remains inexplicably silent.  Even after President Biden officially tapped the VP Wednesday to lead in response to border challenges, there aren't any plans for her to travel south or even address the issue.  According to the Office of the Vice President, Harris had no events this past weekend and no mention of border-related activity.  This comes as the Biden administration is now asking for government volunteers to help manage the migrant surge.

Harris backed decriminalizing illegal entry, closing detention centers; cited ICE-KKK 'parallels'.  Vice President Kamala Harris, recently tasked by President Joe Biden with handling the migration surge at the U.S.-Mexico border, has a record on immigration that includes opposing additional physical barriers on the border, advocating closure of detention centers that house migrants, sympathetically citing perceived parallels between ICE and the Ku Klux Klan, and offering a path to citizenship for all illegal immigrants living the country.  As a presidential candidate, Harris also supported decriminalizing illegally crossing the border by making it only a civil offense.  Harris defended her position of making border crossings a civil penalty rather than a crime during an appearance on "The View" as a presidential candidate.  "It should be a civil enforcement issue, but not a criminal enforcement issue," she said.

Can the GOP stop Democrats from trashing the country?  Kamala Harris calls foreign leaders on Biden's behalf.  The White House has instructed the media that going forward, they are to refer to the Biden-Harris administration.  Jill Biden does more than finish Joe's sentences for him:  Biden reportedly consults with and relies on his wife to a larger degree than any president since Woodrow Wilson, whose wife Edith effectively took over after Woodrow suffered a debilitating stroke in 1919.  There were reports in February that several Democrats wished to deprive Biden of sole authority over the nuclear codes.  Do we now have a Committee for Commander in Chief?  Behind the scenes, Susan Rice, with the Pelosi/Schumer tag team out front, wields executive power that should rightly reside with the president.

VP Harris Tapped by Biden to Fix Border Crisis Compared Immigration Officers to KKK.  Vice President Kamala Harris, tapped by President Joe Biden to fix the border crisis, has compared the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency she will have to rely on to the Ku Klux Klan, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) noted Friday [3/26/2021].  He added that unless it changes its approach to immigration, the Biden administration is not up to the task of fixing the problems at the border.  Johnson briefed reporters about the situation at the southern border after touring the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, considered the epicenter of the migrant surge, and the Donna immigration processing center along with a delegation of 17 other GOP senators.

Kamala Harris 'is not doing the border,' top aide says.  A top aide to Vice President Kamala Harris tempered a White House announcement this week that she would oversee efforts to stem the flow of migrants at the southern border, a politically fraught task amid the growing crisis.  "The vice president is not doing the border," Harris's senior adviser and chief spokeswoman Symone Sanders told reporters on Friday, adding that the vice president is strictly dealing with the root causes of migration.  Sanders said the task would entail outreach to leaders in Mexico and the so-called "Northern Triangle" countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, calling it a "challenging situation."  "It's diplomatic work that needs to be done, and Vice President Harris is looking forward to doing it," she said.

Habitually vocal women's groups mum on Bill Clinton hosting women's empowerment event with Kamala Harris.  Women's groups that backed sexual assault accusations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh are silent following news that former President Bill Clinton will co-host an event on women's empowerment with Vice President Kamala Harris, despite allegations of sexual assault and rape against the former president.  The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to a number of prominent women's groups regarding the upcoming Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) event, including Planned Parenthood, Emily's List, the Women's March, Time's Up Now, the Center for Reproductive Rights, the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL), and the American Civil Liberties Union.

Kamala Harris To Speak At Summit With Ties To Antisemitic Former Women's March Leader.  Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to speak at a summit with connections to Tamika Mallory, a left-wing activist who was forced to step down as the national chair of the Women's March in 2019 because she was accused of antisemitism for her praise of the bigoted Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and for antisemitic comments.  Harris will be a featured speaker at the Black Women's Roundtable, scheduled for March 24-28.  Mallory is a member of the Black Women's Roundtable, which is part of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation headed by Mallory's friend Melanie Campbell.  In 2020, Mallory was named one of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation's President's Circle Leadership Award Honorees.  Before Mallory stepped down from the Women's March, Campbell defended her against accusations of antisemitism, sharing a petition in support of Mallory.

Migrant surge:  Biden appoints Kamala Harris to come to his rescue.  Is there anyone more unfit for the job of "point person" or "leading diplomatic efforts" during the current migrant border surge than Vice President Kamala Harris?  It's an absolutely certain failure.  Naming Harris the "point person" on the Biden-created border surge such a bad idea that one almost wonders if Joe Biden did it on purpose.  After all, as the Sydney Morning Post notes in its headline:  "'It will not be easy:'  Biden hands Kamala Harris problem he couldn't fix."  The already failed Biden policy that triggered this current border surge is now a leading issue with the public that's eating into Biden's poll numbers.  According to a Hill-HarrisX survey, a "large majority" (76%) consider the illegal alien surge "a crisis."  A Gallup poll reports that 42 million would-be migrants from Latin America alone want entry.  A Politico/Morning Consult poll conducted in early February found that of Biden's seven least popular executive orders, five were immigration-related.

Republicans unload on Kamala Harris for her past comments comparing ICE officers to the KKK and saying undocumented immigrants are not criminals.  Kamala Harris is now in charge of the White House response to the southern border crisis and has immediately faced a slew of criticism from conservatives for her very lax stance on immigration.  'An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal,' Harris tweeted in April 2017 in bashing then-President Donald Trump's hard-line immigration policy.  Republicans were quick to pounce on Biden's decision to put Harris at the helm of this issue, pointing to her past criticism of offices dealing with the border.  Specifically, the GOP referenced a congressional hearing in 2018 when Harris, then a U.S. senator for California, compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the KKK.  In her 2017 tweet, Harris vowed: 'We are not a society that is going to stand for tearing families apart.  We are not going to buy into this administration's fear mongering.'

Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre attacks Kamala for meeting former president to talk about 'empowering young women'.  One of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking victims hit out at Vice President Kamala Harris for planning to take part in a women's empowerment seminar with former President Bill Clinton, a onetime pal of the convicted pedophile.  'Wow!! She's asking Clinton how to empower women???' Virginia Giuffre tweeted on Wednesday [3/24/2021].  'Wrong person, what she should be asking him is what [...] was Clinton doing on #Epstein island & private jets 27 TIMES!!'

Is Biden Slowly Being Shoved Into the Background?  A new White House memo demands that the "Biden Administration" be called by a different name and it's got people wondering about the future of our country's leadership.  Who's really in charge?  According to the memo, it's both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, as staffers have been instructed to refer to the administration as the "Biden-Harris" administration.  What does that mean?  [Video clip]

New White House Directive Suggests They're Preparing for Kamala's Takeover.  There is no Biden administration.  Officially, it's the Biden-Harris administration, and federal agencies have been instructed to include Kamala Harris's name in a directive sent to all federal agencies from "a top White House communications team member."  "Please be sure to reference the current administration as the 'Biden-Harris Administration' in official public communications," read the directive, which was provided to Outspoken by "an employee of a federal government agency." [...] Ric Grenell, the former ambassador to Germany and former acting director of national intelligence, told Outspoken that Harris's elevated role is unsettling. [...] "The fact that the White House is instructing federal agencies to replace 'Biden' with 'Biden-Harris' after less than 60 days is indicative of the struggle Joe Biden is already having being President," Grenell added.  "This is a signal that he can't do the job alone."

Joe Biden puts Kamala Harris in charge of stemming flow of migrants at border amid 'serious spikes' in immigration.  President Joe Biden tapped Vice President Kamala Harris to lead the administration's efforts to stem what he called a 'serious spike' in immigration at the border.  The president announced his decision on Wednesday in a meeting with Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on the situation at the border.  Biden announced he has asked Harris 'to lead our efforts' with Mexico and other nations that need help in 'stemming' immigration.

Kamala Harris To Host Event On Empowering Women With Bill Clinton Despite Epstein Associations.  Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Bill Clinton will be speaking together at an event Friday hosted by the Clinton Foundation on the topic of empowering women in the United States and around the world.  The Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) event will feature the two speaking one-on-one and will focus on the challenges that women have had to endure during the coronavirus pandemic, and how to empower women throughout the world.  Harris is set to speak with Clinton despite the former president having faced allegations of rape and sexual assault from multiple women spanning decades.  Clinton was also close associates with convicted pedophile and sex-trafficking billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.  Clinton has remained largely silent regarding the flights that he took on Epstein's private jet, which reportedly offered passengers young girls for sex.

More about Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein.

Kamala Harris' apparent refusal to salute military honor guard panned as 'disgraceful' disrespect.  In what amounts to being more about respect than required actions, Vice President Kamala Harris is getting plenty of scrutiny for not saluting the military honor guard when boarding or disembarking Air Force Two.  To be sure, there is no specific regulation that calls on the president or vice president to salute military personnel, but it has become a modern tradition for the president to salute the honor guard stationed at the steps for Marine One and Air Force One.  A tradition that was started by Ronald Reagan, as a sign of respect.

Leaked Email:  The White House Issued Directive to Clear Path for Kamala Presidency.  The American people are getting visibly acclimated to a Kamala Harris presidency.  A new directive from the White House is one of the most concrete developments that federal officials are getting warmed up for the Harris takeover, as well.  Despite long-standing security protocols against the president and vice president traveling together, President Biden and Vice President Harris are virtually inseparable.  They have even traveled on Air Force One together to a recent speaking event in Atlanta, although Biden himself was forbidden from doing so under the Biden administration.  In addition, Harris has been taking over a key role in foreign policy making.  She has met with numerous heads of state in one-on-one meetings, and is included in all of the president's IC briefings.

Kamala Harris' niece walks back tweet assuming race of Boulder suspect.  Author Meena Harris, the niece of Vice President Kamala Harris, walked back a tweet Monday that assumed the alleged shooter in Colorado was a White man.  "The Atlanta shooting was not even a week ago.  Violent white men are the greatest terrorist threat to our country," Ms. Harris wrote.  She later deleted the tweet but stopped short of apologizing, writing, "Insecure men getting defensive about this [...]."  "I deleted a previous tweet about the suspect in the Boulder shooting," she added.  "I made an assumption based on his being taken into custody alive and the fact that the majority of mass shootings in the U.S. are carried out by white men."

Report: White House directs all agencies to refer to 'Biden-Harris administration'.  As Joe Biden falls three times in a light breeze boarding Air Force One, the latest sign of dementia he presents, and as his first-ever press conference looms next week, the public is being prepared for a transition of power to Kamala Harris. [...] As many have noted, waiting 2 years and a day from inauguration would have qualified Harris for 2 more terms as president.  But more importantly, she has never exhibited popular appeal beyond statewide races in California, where whatever the Democrat party nominates gets elected statwide.  Meanwhile, you can be sure that Jill Biden, already showing signs of an Edith Wilson complex, wants to prop up Joe as long as possible, just like Woodrow Wilson's wife did more than a century ago.

Kamala Harris badmouths America.  The other day, Biden again referred to Kamala Harris as "President Harris." Whether that was a Freudian slip or preparation for his resignation, Biden was right.  When we watch him fall repeatedly going upstairs or hear him babble incoherently whether on or off the TelePrompter, we know that Joe's sell-by date is coming soon.  When he finally shuffles out of the White House, Kamala Harris will become the President of the United States — and, as Harris showed again at Emory University, she openly hates this country.  Our soon-to-be president is the product of a highly educated Jamaican man and a highly educated, professional, upper-caste Indian woman, both of whom did well professionally.  Kamala spent her formative years in far-left Berkeley and then, with her mother, in Canada.  She has no connection to the American black experience, whether through her family history, her geographical upbringing, or her affluent childhood.  Tulsi Gabbard rightly attacked Kamala for being the scourge of blacks and other disadvantaged people when she was San Francisco's District Attorney and California's Attorney General.  Her job qualifications have always been questioned, anyway, because it was an open secret that she got her start as Willie Brown's protegee, thanks to her personal relationship with a powerful man who was then twice her age.  You could say that she slept her way to the middle.

If the Covid Bill is So Popular, Why is It Important to Go Out and Sell It?  Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were planning on visiting Atlanta on Friday [3/19/2021] to promote their pork-filled Covid relief bill as part of their ridiculous "Help is Here" tour.  However, Biden and his babysitter Kamala Harris have postponed the event and decided to meet with Asian-American leaders in Atlanta instead.  Kamala Harris was confronted by a reporter on the "Help is Here" tour and Harris was so caught off guard that she awkwardly cackled her way through an answer.

Kamala Harris exposed as a phony, once again over weed.  Pot has always been a fool-killer for phonies like Kamala Harris, our purported vice president.  Two of her most embarrassing, hypocritical political moments come down to pot, and now there's going to be a third. [...] Somehow marijuana use in the White House is still a firing offense, even for those who come from the 15 blue states where pot use is perfectly legal in contradiction to federal law.  That's a stance the White House's Attorney General nominee said he would explicitly respect.  But somehow, that doesn't apply to the Biden White House, (though one might expect an exception for Hunter). Somehow, federal law, all of a sudden, actually matters, contrary to everything else the Biden administration has promoted.  And that creates problems for Kamala Harris, crime fighter extraordinaire, who as prosecutor put at least 1,500 small-time pot users in prison, yet says she's all in for marijuana legalization.

VP Kamala Harris: 'Racism Is Real in America, and It Has Always Been'.  Vice President Kamala Harris condemned the U.S. as racist, xenophobic, and sexist in remarks at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, where she and President Joe Biden traveled Friday to show solidarity with the Asian American community. [...] Eight people were murdered this week at three massage parlors in Atlanta.  Six of the victims were Asian.  Though police said that there was no evidence of a racial motive, advocates have claimed that the event is only the latest in a wave of anti-Asian-American hate crimes.

Pot Cop Strikes Again:  Dozens of White House Staffers Punished for Past Marijuana Use.  Vice President Kamala Harris has maintained a relatively low profile since taking office in January, but a new report suggests she is working aggressively to exert her influence behind the scenes.  According to the Daily Beast, dozens of young White House staffers have been punished for smoking pot at some point in their lives.  Some have been suspended, while others have been asked to resign or forced to work remotely after they admitted to using marijuana during a background check.  The crackdown has frustrated the staffers, for obvious reasons.  They claim it runs contrary to the Biden administration's initial assurances that prior use of marijuana, which is currently legal in 14 states and the District of Columbia, would have no impact on their employment situation.

Biden calls his second-in-command 'President Harris'.  President Biden misspoke in a speech Thursday offering updates on an update on vaccination progress in the U.S., referring to his vice president as "President Harris."  "When President Harris and I took ..." Biden said, before momentarily pausing, "a virtual tour of a vaccination site in Arizona not long ago, one of the nurses on that tour injecting people, giving vax each shot, was like administering a dose of hope."  At the same time, the president announced the administration would achieve its goal of 100 million vaccines administered in 100 days on Friday, the 58th day of the new administration.  At this point, Biden said, 65% of people aged 65 and older have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine.

Kamala Harris Dodges Question on Detained Kids at Border: 'I Haven't Been Briefed'.  Vice President Kamala Harris dodged a question about the migrant crisis on the Southern border Tuesday [3/16/2021], as she traveled in Colorado to promote the $1.9 trillion coronavirus spending package.  A reporter asked Harris if she was concerned about the children detained on the Southern border.  She replied, "I haven't been briefed on anything today about it, but I will when I get on the plane."  Harris spoke briefly to reporters as she stopped for a quick chat with the press at the airport.  Since her plane had maintenance problems in Los Angeles, Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff flew aboard a military plane separate from the press.

Nickelodeon Honors Kamala Harris as "Champion of Kids," But She Supports Killing Kids in Abortions.  She should have gotten slimed, but on Saturday [3/13/2021], actress Jennifer Garner praised pro-abortion Vice President Kamala Harris, declaring she's had "a lifetime of being a champion of kids and family issues."  Even worse, Garner was peddling this lie to children!  At the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards over the weekend, the two women presented the Generation Change Award to "today's kids."  In introducing her, Garner fawned over the leftist VP for the "love in [her] heart" and hailed her for "always looking out for the underdog." Let's face it, there is no bigger underdog than the unborn baby in the waiting room of a Planned Parenthood and abortion is the absence of love.  But who cares when "Momala" is such a "trailblazer"?

Kamala Has the Best of Both Worlds.  [Scroll down]  Some pundits differ on the amount of time the left will wait before putting Biden out to pasture.  I've heard everything from a few months to two years, the only constant being its inevitability.  There's a certain amount of logic to it.  Like Biden, Kamala never met a standard she could keep or a moral she agreed with for anything other than cynical, self-aggrandizing motives.  She wouldn't recognize the commandment against lying if it bit her in the fundament, and she is (with apologies to Fedex) absolutely, positively a godless communist who hates America and everything that's good and decent in the world.  Admittedly, Sleepy Joe may not be an out-and-out communist, but as a good socialist, he's right next door to communism, making him and Kamala two peas in a pod.  They agree on 99.9% of everything, differing mainly on how fast their left-wing policies should be implemented.

VP Kamala Harris takes another solo call with a world leader.  Vice President Kamala Harris had another call with a foreign leader Tuesday, independent of President Biden.  Harris spoke with the prime minister of Norway, Erna Solberg, where Harris "affirmed her commitment to deepening the strong alliance between Norway and the United States."  "The Vice President thanked the Prime Minister for Norway's close security partnership with the United States and generous contributions to development and health security efforts around the world," according to a readout of the call.  Harris previously took calls alone with French President Emanuel Macron and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as well as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, shortly after the president put in a call to the French and Canadian leaders himself.

The build-up begins:  Biden plans a Kamala Harris road show.  Doddery old Joe Biden isn't even trying to hide it anymore.  His gaffes and garble are soaring to orbit.  The faraway look in his eyes is growing dimmer.  The public is noticing.  He called himself a transition president.  He presumably joked that he'd resign if he ever disagreed with Harris.  But much sooner than anyone thought, a Hollywood style starlet build-up for Vice President Kamala Harris is beginning as if to prepare the public for his replacement.

Kamala Harris Takes Call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Behalf of Joe Biden.  Who is really running the country?  Kamala Harris on Thursday [3/4/2021] spoke to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel as Joe Biden slouched around the White House.  Joe Biden hosted a group of House members at the White House on Thursday and joined a virtual call with NASA.  Apparently Biden's schedule was so grueling today that he had to have his babysitter Kamala take another call with a foreign leader.

Scott Morrison and Kamala Harris talk China, climate change in phone call.  Scott Morrison has discussed Australia and the US' "shared interests in relation to China" during a phone call with US Vice President Kamala Harris.  The prime minister spoke with Ms Harris on Wednesday morning, when the pair reaffirmed the strength of Australia-US relations.  The pair discussed the countries' "shared interests in relation to China", according to a government official, after months of trade tensions between Canberra and Beijing.  "A pleasure to chat with VP Kamala Harris.  We'll strengthen our very strong alliance even further," Mr Morrison tweeted on Wednesday.

Biden's Presidency Seems Ready to End.  We're now six weeks or so into the sham presidency of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., and already the end of the Biden Era seems near. [...] The good news is, he's not likely to be there very long.  The bad news is who might replace him:  in Harris — the daughter of two foreign-born parents who was raised by them in Canada, and who garnered no support from the Democrat primary electorate during her short, disastrous campaign for the top spot on the 2020 ticket — we have one of the most dangerous prospective presidents ever.  As I wrote in April 2018:  "Imagine a combination of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and you've got Kamala Harris, the current seat-warming senator from California who, like Obama, is using the World's Greatest Deliberative Body as a resume-puncher before swiftly moving on to bigger things:  the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination.  "She combines Obama's race with Hillary's sex, and as identity politics goes these days, that's going to be tough to beat.

Kamala Harris' tweet celebrating Dr. Seuss becomes problematic.  The ongoing cancelling of Dr. Seuss books by the "woke" left for alleged "anti-blackness" and "white supremacy" has some wondering why Vice President Kamala Harris, a black woman, posted a tweet in celebration of the children's book author four years ago. [...] The tweet contained no "trigger warning" for those who might take offense at her promoting the birthday of someone now known for his "racist books," as The Washington Post has described Dr. Seuss's collection of allegedly offensive work.

10 Big Warning Signs Biden is the 'Missing' President.  [#4] Kamala Harris takes meetings with Heads of State:  On President's Day weekend, while Biden had taken off work to play Mario Kart with his granddaughter, Vice President was taking calls with major heads of state.  The National Pulse noted that Biden was missing from a call with French President Emanuel Macron. [...] Harris also spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.  These are not Kamala Harris's counterparts.  And despite being vital to the Democrats' agenda as the deciding vote in the Senate, she makes sure to attend most of the president's daily briefings.  "The President's Daily Brief, a highly classified update on the country's top intelligence, is back to a daily occurrence after happening only sporadically under Trump," CNN reported without adding context that he read them anyway.  "Joined in the Oval Office by Vice President Kamala Harris — who has used an iPad to receive the briefing, like Obama — Biden is run through the update by a range of intelligence professionals."

I guess racial equality has been achieved, if everyone's moving on to something else.
Kamala Harris:  Equality is Old News, Let's Talk About Equity.  Kamala Harris has only one card and she plays it over and over again.  And then she plays it some more. [...] You can't fight for equality and equity.  No one starts out from the same place.  Kamala started out as the daughter of wealthy foreign students who grew up in Canada and lives in a Brentwood mansion.  That doesn't mean that she should be held back.  Different people are born with different skills, physical abilities, and potentials.  Handicapper General Kamala can't change that no matter how many sandbags she ties to them.  No matter where someone is born, they can achieve things on their own, whether it's by pursuing their dreams, or by sleeping with the married mayor of San Francisco in exchange for political connections.  That's not something you're born with.  It's not about where you start, but where you end up.  Equality is freedom.  Equity is a plantation.

With cabinet nominees, Biden pokes conservatives, scrapes the bottom of the barrel.  Why does it seem like with each and every cabinet nominee, Biden or whoever is calling the shots are poking their thumbs in the eyes of every pro-American conservative?  Because that is exactly what they are doing.  If "personnel is policy," then the Biden Administration's policy is mediocrity and leftism.  Beginning with Kamala Harris!  She was so unpopular as a presidential candidate, she dropped out before Iowa!  She was loathed in CA as AG for her harsh and unfair treatment of African-Americans.  Her personal behavior in CA is a matter of record.  Harris is not a particularly smart woman, nor does she conduct herself with any grace or class and yet Biden selected her as his running mate!  Already people are sick of her bobble-head laugh and general unseriousness.

Biden Opening Another Migrant Facility For Kids in Florida, Here's What Kamala Harris Said About It in 2019.  The Biden team has now announced a second "migrant facility" being reopened for kids in Homestead, Florida.  They are needing to reopen more facilities because of Joe Biden's own words which illegal aliens have taken as an open invitation to come surging into the United States again.  But what's incredibly ironic about the opening of this facility is that it's the very same facility that Kamala Harris visited in 2019, along with a host of other Democratic candidates running for president including Pete Buttigieg, Julian Castro, Kirsten Gillibrand, Marianne Williamson, Elizabeth Warren, John Hickenlooper, Bill de Blasio, and Tulsi Gabbard.  Harris said that Homestead was a "human rights abuse" being committed by our government and said should be shut down then.  She was literally giving our enemies propaganda to use against us with that nonsense.

Kamala's White Husband Plays the Race Card.  The only thing more awkward than Kamala Harris playing the race card on her own behalf, is having her white industry entertainment lawyer with a house in Brentwood play it.

These Are Some of the Garbage Items House Dems Added to Their New COVID Relief Bill.  House Democrats late Friday released the text of their $1.9 trillion Wuhan coronavirus relief bill.  While some of the bill addresses actual challenges Americans face, there are a handful of items that are, arguably, not related to the pandemic. [...] If passed and signed into law, the federal minimum wage — which currently sits at $7.25-an-hour — would increase to $15-an-hour over the next five years.  Democrats set aside $50 million for "family planning." As of now, the Hyde Amendment is in place, which bars taxpayer funds from being used for abortion. [...] Although higher education has teetered because of the virus, Howard University is the only higher education facility that would be given money to recoup funds lost during the pandemic.  Gallaudet University is listed in the bill, but it's a specialized university for students who are hard of hearing.  It is important to note that Vice President Kamala Harris is an alumna of Howard University, which is an unlikely coincidence.

Crowd of Two Supporters Welcomes 81 Million Vote Recipient Kamala Harris Back to Her California Home.  Reported 81 million vote recipient Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff were greeted by all of two supporters when the couple returned to their Los Angeles home in Brentwood on a sunny Friday afternoon for the first time since Harris was sworn in as vice president last month.  Video taken by a local reporter shows an older couple standing in the curb lane waving while holding an American flag and a Biden-Harris campaign sign as Harris' motorcade drove by.  The video shows no one else on the street except for a news videographer filming the motorcade.

Kamala Harris Is Selling Her Condo In San Francisco For A Huge Profit.  Vice President Kamala Harris has signed a deal to sell her loft-style San Francisco condo for $799,000, about 63% more than what she paid for it, according to the Wall Street Journal.  Harris bought the two-level condo for $489,000 in 2004, when she became California's first female district attorney in San Francisco's history and the first Black woman and South Asian American woman in the state to hold the office.  The one-bedroom property is on the top floor of a boutique building in the South of Market district, a former industrial zone where warehouses have been converted into headquarters for several major software and technology companies, including LinkedIn, Airbnb, Uber, Wired and Pinterest.

On schools, Kamala Harris does a perfect Irwin Corey imitation.  Americans need to get their kids back in school.  Where there are powerful teachers' unions, though, the teachers have discovered the joys of a bunny slipper commute, a minimal workday, and a full paycheck.  When NBC's Savannah Guthrie pressed Kamala Harris on the new administration's plan to restart classroom learning, Harris replied with non-responsive, meaningless, double talk.  Had she been auditioning for an Irwin Corey homage, it would have impressive.  As it was, it showed both an administration and a vice president that are incompetent.  When it comes to educating children in 2021, there are a few important facts:  The CDC acknowledges that schools are not disease vectors and teachers can safely return even if they're not vaccinated.  America's kids are deeply depressed and the young ones are missing out on important education milestones, especially minority children.  Teachers in places with strong unions are refusing to go back to school.  In Chicago, they have Mayor Lori Lightfoot over a barrel; in San Francisco, the city is suing the teachers.  The Biden administration is changing its story on an almost daily basis when it comes to schools reopening.

Kamala Harris' stepdaughter Ella Emhoff makes her runway debut at New York Fashion Week.  Kamala Harris' stepdaughter Ella Emhoff has appeared in her first designer fashion show, just three weeks after it was announced that she had signed with IMG Models.  The 21-year-old — who is the daughter of Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff, and his first wife, Kerstin — had turned the heads of fashion fans at President Joe Biden's inauguration on on January 20, where she wore an embellished Miu Miu coat.  Now the Parsons School of Design fine art student has nabbed her first high-profile modeling gig, storming the runway for Proenza Schouler in three different stylish looks.

Who Is The US President?  Kamala Harris, Not Biden Is Talking With Foreign Leaders.  While Joe Biden plays Mario Kart and gets an early night, Kamala Harris is talking to world leaders, prompting the question who really is the President of the United States now?  The New York Post reports that Harris spoke at length with French President Emmanuel Macron this week.  The Vice President's office released a statement noting that the two "agreed on the need for close bilateral and multilateral cooperation to address COVID-19, climate change, and support democracy at home and around the world."  "They also discussed numerous regional challenges, including those in the Middle East and Africa, and the need to confront them together," the statement added.

Who's In Control?  Harris, Not Biden, Calling Foreign Heads of State.  How many heads of state have ventured to the White House to visit with Biden?  Isn't it common for the White House to host a parade of foreign dignitaries in the first weeks?  Hasn't Biden received the COVID vaxx?

Kamala Harris Is Now Making Joe Biden's Head Of State Calls For Him.  The White House published a readout yesterday [2/15/2021] entitled "Readout of Vice President Kamala Harris Call with President Emmanuel Macron of France."  It states:  ["]Vice President Kamala Harris spoke today with President Emmanuel Macron of France, and expressed her commitment to strengthening bilateral ties between the United States and France and to revitalizing the transatlantic alliance.  Vice President Harris and President Macron agreed on the need for close bilateral and multilateral cooperation to address COVID-19, climate change, and support democracy at home and around the world.  They also discussed numerous regional challenges, including those in the Middle East and Africa, and the need to confront them together.  The Vice President thanked President Macron for his leadership on the issue of gender equality and for France's contribution to NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance rover.["]  It is bizarre for a Vice President to be making contact with key world leaders just weeks into a new administration.

Creepy Kamala hovers over Joe Biden like the Grim Reaper.  It's like some creepy horror story:  Whenever Biden gives a speech, there's an almost spectral figure standing behind him.  It doesn't take too much imagination to liken that figure to Grim Reaper, waiting for Biden's appointment with his final destiny.  Of course, it's not the Grim Reaper; it's merely Kamala Harris, who's clearly being prepped to take over as president in Biden's place as soon as possible.  As part of this obvious agenda, Harris is already handling some of Joe's major foreign policy telephone calls.  Here are screenshots of multiple Biden appearances during his first three weeks in the White House.  In each, there's that creepy, dark-clad Kamala standing behind him... waiting, just waiting.

Fact Check?  Kamala Lies to Axios with 'Start from Scratch' Vaccine Claim that Fauci Debunked.  Isn't it fascinating that the liberal media lectures us about all the dangers of misinformation about the coronavirus, but now the Biden-Harris team just keeps repeating nonsense about how they had to start "from scratch" on the vaccine?  That there was "no plan"?  Even after CNN fell on its face running this claim from an anonymous source, only to be corrected by media darling Anthony Fauci, Vice President Kamala Harris said it out loud to Axios reporter and co-founder Mike Allen for the website's HBO show.  Allen just accepted this garbage.  [Video clip]

Scwheizer: Biden, Harris Families Have 'Cultural History' of 'Cashing in' on Family Name — 'Semblance of Entitlement'.  Monday [2/15/2021] on FNC's "Fox & Friends," Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer reacted to the report that White House aides are reportedly concerned about Vice President Kamala Harris' niece Meena Harris profiting off of her aunt's name and position because it would violate ethics rules.  Schweizer, who has long detailed President Joe Biden's family's corruption of profiting off of his name, said the Harris family also has a "cultural history" of "cashing in."  He added that if neither Biden nor Harris call off their family members, it "is absolutely going to continue."  "Ultimately, it's the principle — in this case, Vice President Harris or President Biden that have to lay down the law in their family," Schweizer stated.

Biden White House tells Meena Harris to quit cashing in off Kamala Harris name.  It's not just Hunter Biden who's proving an embarrassment to the Joe Biden White House.  Kamala Harris has at least one relative just as brimming with cupidity and eager to strike it rich. [...] Harris's niece Meena, 36, is the daughter of her close sister Maya, and something of a gadfly, always looking to strike it rich.  That covers a wide field, from selling t-shirts, writing wokester children's books, wallowing in adoring fashion shoots, working in some at least nominal boss positions for Uber, Facebook and Slack, sinecure-ing on some San Francisco city women's commission, serving as an 'advisor' for Kamala Harris (payment unknown), hanging out with celebs, posting "lifestyle" vanity posts on Instagram, and glomming onto a big mishmash of left-wing causes, whichever are most in the news.

Lindsey Graham Suggests Kamala Harris Could Be Impeached When GOP Retakes House.  In the wake of the Democrat's second failed attempt to impeach and remove President Trump, Lindsey Graham, in an appearance of Fox News Sunday, said that Democrats have now opened Pandora's Box, and that by the standard they've set, Kamala Harris has met their requirement for impeachment.  "The trial record was a complete joke," Senator Graham said.  "Hearsay on top of hearsay, and we've opened Pandora's Box for future presidents and if you use this model, I don't know how Kamala Harris doesn't get impeached if Republicans take over the House because she actually bailed out rioters, and more of the rioters went back to the streets and broke somebody's head open, so we've opened Pandora's Box here, and I'm sad for the country."

Should Republicans Impeach Biden and Harris?  Now that impeachment is just one more card in the political deck, to be played by whichever party controls the House of Representatives, the question naturally arises:  what should Republicans do when they retake control of the House, very likely in 2022?  Lindsay Graham warns that if the Democrats could impeach Donald Trump with the false assertion that he incited violence, a far stronger claim along the same lines can be made against Kamala Harris: [...] Jeff Dunetz argues against retaliatory impeachment, and also says that Harris shouldn't be impeached for something she did before she was vice-president.  That is certainly a plausible position, although interestingly, the Constitution doesn't say that the "high crimes and misdemeanors" that are the basis for removal from office must have been committed while the subject of the impeachment held his or her current office.

Sen. Graham says Kamala Harris could be impeached if GOP takes over the House.  Sen. Lindsey Graham warned that Republicans could move to impeach Vice President Kamala Harris — arguing that former President Donald Trump's Senate impeachment trial over provoking the Capitol riot "opened Pandora's Box."  Speaking on "Fox News Sunday," a day after the Senate voted 57-43 to acquit the former president on a single charge of "incitement of insurrection," the South Carolina Republican argued that the vice president's support for a fund that bailed out protesters over the summer could leave her liable for the same punishment.  "And if you use this model, I don't know how Kamala Harris doesn't get impeached if the Republicans take over the House," Graham said.  "Because she actually bailed out rioters and one of the rioters went back to the streets and broke somebody's head open.  So we've opened Pandora's Box here and I'm sad for the country?"

White House lawyers tell Meena Harris to stop using aunt Kamala to build brand: report.  Vice President Kamala Harris' social-media-influencer niece has long used her aunt's fame to boost her own personal brand — but now that Harris has entered the White House, aides have become increasingly concerned about the ethical implications of the promotional pattern, according to a report.  "Some things can't be undone," a White House official, speaking about niece Meena Harris, 36, on the condition of anonymity, told The Los Angeles Times.  "That being said:  Behavior needs to change," the official said of the niece Harris, whose ventures have reportedly become a sensitive issue in the newly formed Biden-Harris White House.  Harris is a lawyer-turned-entrepreneur who boasts more than 800,000 followers on Instagram, where her posts range from political to personal.

Meena Harris has a personal brand.  Some fear she's profiting from her Aunt Kamala's office.  Five days before Kamala Harris was sworn in as vice president, her niece, Meena Harris, appeared on the "Today" show for an interview conducted by Jenna Bush Hager, daughter of former President George W. Bush.  Meena discussed the historic nature of the moment, along with a pitch for her latest children's book, "Ambitious Girl," released on the eve of the inauguration.  She wore a pink sweatshirt emblazoned with the word "Ambitious" in large type, plugging a popular item in her Phenomenal brand clothing line.  All this as pictures of Meena and Kamala Harris flashed across the screen.

Flashback: Kamala Harris Joked About Killing Trump, Pence, and Jeff Sessions.  Seeing as Trump has been impeached because his rhetoric allegedly incited the riot on the U.S. Capitol in January, it seems appropriate to point out instances where Democrats have used violent rhetoric and demand equal justice for it.  In 2018, Senator Kamala Harris appeared on The Ellen Degeneres Show, during which DeGeneres asked Harris a series of random questions from cards.  It was upbeat and all in the name of humor, but things got seriously dark when DeGeneres asked, "If you had to be stuck in an elevator with either President Trump, Mike Pence, or Jeff Sessions, who would it be?"  "Does one of us have to come out alive?" Harris asked, then laughed hysterically.

The Cringe is Real!  Woman Sings about Kamala Harris being great, Ignores History of Scandals and Adultery.  In one of the most cringe-worthy videos I've ever watched, a woman sings about how great Kamala Harris is, despite Kamala being one of the worst candidates Democrats have ever put fourth.  Kamala has a history of scandals the mainstream media refuses to even bring up anymore now that she is supposedly Vice President.  [Video clip]

Kamala's creepy 'constant on-camera presence for Biden' attracting notice even from MSM.  Is she right there whenever Biden faces the cameras in case he keels over?  Or is this some attempt to add presidential "gravitas" to a problematic choice for the ticket, so lacking in appeal that she dropped out of the presidential field before the Iowa caucuses?  Or, are we being prepared for Harris to assume the presidency sooner than anyone expected?  Whatever the motives, Joe Biden's handlers seem to have decided that they need to double-team presidential public events when the cameras start rolling.

Man twice bailed out by Kamala Harris-backed fund — gets arrested again.  A Minnesota man twice bailed out by a Vice President Kamala Harris-backed nonprofit group has been busted a third time on felony drug charges, authorities said.  Thomas Moseley's latest collar stems from his arrest on Oct. 15, 2020, when he was picked up at a George Floyd-related protest and charged with damaging the Minneapolis Police Department's Fifth Precinct months earlier, WCCO-TV reported.  Police found a handgun in his waistband and charged him with possession of a dangerous weapon.  Moseley, 29, of Minneapolis, was also busted on rioting charges from a Dec. 31, 2020, demonstration.

Planned Parenthood CEO: 'Completely Over the Moon' with Kamala Harris as VP.  Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson exclaimed in an interview with Business Insider she is "completely over the moon" that abortion rights champion Kamala Harris is now vice president.  "She has really demonstrated her facility of understanding our issues but also the intersection of sexual and reproductive healthcare with issues of race, with issues of the economy, with issues of democracy and our American values," Johnson said in the interview published Monday [2/1/2021].

Kamala Harris already becoming a problem for Biden White House.  I suspect that regret already is setting in among his handlers over their pick of Kamala Harris for Joe Biden's running mate.  [The] first of what will be many clean-up efforts began yesterday for her bungling an incident 8 days in office. [...] At the time the-Senator Harris was chosen as Biden's running mate, a female who could claim Black heritage was demographically almost mandatory, given the role of the Black constituency in putting Biden over the top in the South Carolina primary, and its standing as a quarter of the Dems' voting base.  And, if the party were going to go with another white male at the top of the ticket, a female also was virtually mandatory in the veep slot.  But Harris has no subtlety, no finesse.  She got her start in politics by sleeping with the (married) most powerful politician in California, and since then has risen through the hierarchy of public offices based on identity politics and personal pull in a one-party state.  With Biden's physical and mental health questionable, she has a good chance to become the first female POTUS without being elected to the office.

Kamala Harris Tells Unemployed Coal Miners That After Biden Kills Their Jobs They Should Work Reclaiming Abandoned "Land Mines".  Joe Biden killed tens of thousands of jobs his first day in office when he canceled contracts with the Keystone XL pipeline.  Biden and his "Climate Envoy" John Kerry are waging war on the energy sector but fear not because Kamala Harris is here to save the day.  Kamala Harris talked about creating news jobs in her interview and shared her brilliant idea to "build back better" ...by reclaiming abandoned land mines in West Virginia.  "All of those skilled workers who are in the coal industry and transferring those skills to what we need to do in terms of dealing with reclaiming abandoned land mines."

Across the street and over his shoulder:  Harris shares limelight with Biden.  The banners outside the White House on Inauguration Day proclaimed the arrival of the "Biden-Harris" administration.  And since then, they have governed as if physically joined by a hyphen.  They were both in the Oval Office on Friday [1/29/2021] to receive the president's daily security briefing together, and then again for an economic briefing with Janet Yellen, the newly installed secretary of the Treasury.  Lunch together followed in the president's private dining room.  Their close relationship strikes a stark contrast with their immediate predecessors, who did not speak for five days this month when an already strained relationship stretched to a breaking point after the Capitol violence on Jan. 6.  Presidential scholars said it is clear President Biden saw a different model of how a president and vice president should operate, even if it might not survive four years.

A Tsunami of Hate.  [Scroll down]  How virulent is the anti-white and anti-American racism of the Democrat Party?  Consider this unhinged but also unchallenged statement by Vice President Kamala Harris defending the Black Lives Matters rioters whose "protests" caused billions in property damage, led to 25 deaths and injured 2000 police officers in the summer of 2020:  "The reality is that the life of a black person in America has never been treated as fully human... It's no wonder people are taking to the streets [to protest].  And I support them."

When beauty norms meet sucking up to power.  There's nothing illegal or unethical about what IMG Models did.  However, the New York-based modeling agency that has some of the biggest names on its roster suddenly discovered a hidden Cinderella in our midst:  Ella Emhoff, who is Kamala Harris's 22-year-old stepdaughter.  The problem with this amazing discovery is that Emhoff is entirely ordinary and seems somewhat scary.  It's patently clear that IMG is capitalizing on her stepmother's position, and that's just sleazy.  Over the years, IMG has represented people such as Lauren Hutton, Christie Brinkley, the Hadid sisters, and Karlie Kloss — names so big and women so beautiful by any standard that even I recognize them (and to say that I have no interest in the subject is an understatement).  And now it turns out that 22-year-old Ella Emhoff is ready to enter that rarefied category of the world's most beautiful and/or striking people.

It's All Rigged.  I shall continue my Catty Cathy special inaugural fashion coverage today with a special report on Ella Emhoff's unlikely new career as a model for IMG, one of the most prestigious agencies in the nation.  Why do you say "unlikely" MOTUS?  After all Ella is the daughter of someone rich and famous ( in case you're a cave dweller, Ella is the stepdaughter of VP Kammie) and that is how careers are made in postmodern America.  And let's just stipulate to the fact that, unlike Melania, she isn't normally what you'd consider conventional model material.  But then, we no longer live in conventional world, do we? [...] Vogue, which could not find time or space for even one article on Melania Trump during her 4 years as FLOTUS has already done two, count them, two, articles on Ms. Emhoff, daughter of the Second Gentleman and stepdaughter to the Veep.  But then Melania only spoke English as a second, third or fourth language so she couldn't possibly be as articulate as this young and upcoming 'designer.'

The Next Hunter?  Kamala Harris's Stepdaughter Cashes in on Biden Presidency.  Hunter Biden's gravy train may be stalled on the tracks until federal authorities conclude their investigation into his finances, but that doesn't mean other Biden-Harris family members can't cash in on their proximity to power.  Ella Emhoff, the 21-year-old stepdaughter of Vice President Kamala Harris, recently scored a major modeling contract with IMG Models, a firm with deep ties to the Democratic Party.  Prior to signing with IMG, the Brooklyn-based "artist" was best known for wearing a weird coat to the inauguration ceremony, and for the inability of journalists to contain their excitement in response to said coat.

It's Been Two Years and Kamala Harris STILL Has Her Jussie Smollett "Modern Day Lynching" Tweet Up.  Happy second birthday to one of the most ridiculous and melodramatic tweets of all time!  Here we sit two years after the completely and obviously fake story from Jussie Smollett has been utterly debunked and everyone involved has been thoroughly embarrassed and someway, somehow, Kamala Harris still has still not deleted this hilariously absurd tweet.

Kamala Harris undermines her historic vice presidency by supporting policies ruinous to women.  Kamala Harris made history when she became our country's first female vice president.  While electing the first woman to a nationwide office serves as an important milestone, Harris's policy positions themselves provide little comfort to women.  On numerous issues, Harris will undermine, rather than advance, causes that are important to women.  Take, for instance, Harris's support for the Equality Act.  This legislation, which adds gender identity and sexual orientation as protected categories to the Civil Rights Act, would be bad for those born biologically female.  If enacted, the Equality Act would functionally give individuals born biologically male federal approval to enter sporting competitions previously reserved for those born biologically female.  It could also subject parents who prohibit their underage children from undergoing gender transition procedures to potential civil rights enforcement actions.

Washington Post caught scrubbing Kamala Harris 'prisoner' story.  The Washington Post scrubbed an unflattering anecdote of Vice President Kamala Harris crassly laughing at the thought of a prisoner begging for a drink of water — then backtracked Friday after an eagle-eyed reporter took notice.  Harris made the comments in a July 2019 Washington Post profile about her relationship with her sister and trusted aide, Maya Harris, when the former California prosecutor was running for president.  But that story disappeared from the site — with its link redirecting to a newer version published on Jan. 11, sans anecdote.  In the opening of the 2019 piece, Harris described her grueling schedule on the campaign trail — and the respite she got from SoulCycle sessions and walks on the beach with her husband.

Get Ready for 4 Years of Media Sycophancy.  On Sunday, Jan. 17, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris sat down with Jane Pauley of CBS News "Sunday Morning."  Pauley treated Harris to a full-on journalistic massage.  At no point was Harris asked a tough question; at no point was Harris treated as anything other than an idol worthy of worship.  Perhaps the most awkward manifestation of this sycophancy came when Harris — an extraordinarily and transparently manipulative and mechanical politician — spouted a canned speech about relentlessness.  "I was raised to not hear no — let me be clear about it," said Harris.  "I eat no for breakfast!"  This prompted a spasm of ecstasy from Pauley, who immediately reflected Harris' bizarrely inappropriate laughter with an enormous grin of her own.

Kamala Harris will live at Blair House while official VP residence is repaired.  Vice President Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff will temporarily reside in Blair House as repairs are made to the official vice presidential mansion at the Naval Observatory, a report said.  The move, requested by the Navy, entails replacing chimney liners and other maintenance to Number One Observatory Circle, an aide to Harris told CBS News.  The repairs will be easier to complete with the home unoccupied, the aide told the outlet.  It was not immediately clear how long Harris and Emhoff will have to stay in Blair House, which is across the street from the White House and is typically used to host the president's guests.

What Changed?  Kamala Harris Suddenly Introduced As 'Asian American' AND 'African American'.  Is Kamala Harris "African American" or "Asian American"? I guess it depends on who they're trying to win over.  When they were in campaign mode, she was touted as the first "African American" VP candidate in order to get more votes from minority communities.  However, Amy Klobuchar just introduced her as the first "African American, Asian American" VP.

Internet goes gaga over Kamala's socks as she cackles over inappropriate impeachment joke.  [Scroll down]  The soon to be vice president burst out in laughter at the inappropriate joke, though we should be grateful that the clip was cut at that point, sparing the nation a hideous cackle that makes Hillary Clinton endearing.  The video caption added by Meena Harris read:  "happy impeachment day." [...] The idea of a politician having so little regard for the importance of an action seen as the most divisive Congress can take being one heartbeat away — a 78-year-old heart at that — from the Oval Office is a scary concept.  But for Gen Z, the important thing here are the blue and white socks being worn by Harris, who got her start in politics after an affair with a man 30 years her senior — as a young San Francisco prosecutor, she engaged in a sexual relationship with then 60-year-old Mayor Willie Brown, who gave her political career a boost.

Kamala Harris poses for another stupid photo shoot.  Kamala Harris, vice president-elect, was last seen having her team complain about her stupid photo shoot posing in tennis shoes and a bedsheet-like background in Vogue.  Vogue, you see, had betrayed her, agreeing to run a picture of her in a powder blue suit and printing out the tennis-shoe shot instead.  And naturally, her allies cried 'racism.' [...] Turns out she's done it again, this time with a Glamour writeup of a Tik Tok photo shoot, with her wearing loud and stupid socks.  Naturally, she got millions of views. [...] She's not projecting 'vice president' with these stunts.  A Tik-Tok video like this doesn't suggest gravitas and don't even think to compare her act to dignity projected by Vice President Mike Pence.  And now she's doing it again and again.

Harris to resign from Senate seat on Monday.  Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will resign from her Senate seat on Monday [1/18/2021] ahead of Wednesday's inauguration ceremony.  Harris has already started the process by notifying California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D).  She's then expected to make an announcement on Monday resigning from her Senate seat, according to Harris aides.  "She's notified Governor Newsom, and has sent her formal indication that she will be resigning on Monday, January 18.  And then she will make a formal announcement on Monday," said an aide.  Newsom has already announced that he will appoint Alex Padilla, California's secretary of state, to fill Harris's seat for the remainder of her term, which was scheduled to end in 2022.

Law prof. who rallied Capitol crowd with Giuliani and questioned Kamala Harris' citizenship will retire.  The California law professor who drew outrage for his fiery speech with Rudy Giuliani before the Capitol riot and his unfounded attacks on Vice President-elect Kamala Harris' citizenship has agreed to retire.  Chapman University announced John Eastman's departure Wednesday night after the private college in Orange County previously condemned Eastman's remarks but stopped short of firing him.  "Dr. Eastman's departure closes this challenging chapter for Chapman and provides the most immediate and certain path forward," Chapman President Daniele Struppa said in a statement.

The Real Victim of Oppression is Kamala Harris For An Insufficiently Flattering Vogue Cover.  Sorry conservatives, you think you're oppressed just because you're censored and demonized for being in the political opposition.  Senator Kamala Harris not only survived life in segregated Berkeley, but is now the subject of an insufficently flattering Vogue cover.  That's right, the tongue bath dispensed to her by the fashion mag was not flattering enough because even though it put her on the cover... it wasn't the right cover.  That's racist! [...] Except that the photos were taken by a black photographer.  Despite that the usual blue checkmarks for social justice shrieked that the cover was racist because racism is an unfalsifiable hypothesis and even a photo taken by a black photographer must be deemed racist.

Why Kamala Harris' Vogue cover is trending on social media.  Kamala Harris is Vogue's new cover girl — but it isn't winning her any votes.  The vice president-elect appears on the February front of the fashion bible in a set of her own duds — a brown Donald Deal jacket, black jeans and black Converse sneakers — which a flood of fans gripes is far from worthy of her office.  "Kamala is our FIRST EVER WOMAN VICE PRESIDENT!" a person wrote on Vogue's Instagram account.  "PLEASE DO HER JUSTICE and REDO this cover!  Put her in a background that is regal like she is!  Your old drape from the CEO's office is insulting."

The Editor says...
All this adulation is a bit much, and it sounds familiar.

Report: Kamala Harris' Team Rips Vogue Editors for Cover Photo.  Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris' team has reportedly reached out to American Vogue editors to express their disapproval with the California Senator's photo featured on the February cover of the print edition.  This weekend, Vogue unveiled two covers for its February issue — a print edition cover featuring Harris in sneakers and a digital cover where Harris is wearing a powder blue suit.

Why Cowardly Republicans Got Hysterical about the Capitol Riots.  Over the last six months, Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa riots caused two billion dollars in property damage, killed at least 25 people, and injured over 2,000 police officers.  Rioters occupied and burned a police station in Minneapolis.  They attacked a federal courthouse in Portland every night for months.  In Seattle, Antifa set up an "autonomous zone" where five people were murdered, including two teenagers shot to death when they drove "too fast" near an armed checkpoint.  Senator Kamala Harris applauded the rioters.  In June, amid the burning and looting of large swaths of Minneapolis, she said the riots were "not going to let up, and they should not, and we should not."  Then she raised money to bail rioters out of jail.

Vogue mag treats Kamala Harris with all the seriousness she deserves.  The solidly pro-Democrat media tool took a cover photoshoot of Harris, and in line with standard collaborative media-political practices, agreed upon a photo for the cover issue, something about Kamala in a powder blue suit.  But Vogue couldn't help itself.  After making its agreement with Harris, it ran instead this cover, with Harris looking like a clown in a suit, complete with junky tennis shoes.  [Photo]  As for the photo, it was overexposed, meaning, she was sold to readers as black, but they've pretty much presented her as white.  So much for identity politics, which is Harris's only accomplishment.

The Editor says...
The photo isn't necessarily "overexposed."  Maybe that's the way she really looks!  If you think really dark skin is a must, you might be a racist.

Kamala Harris Called Riots 'a Movement' Last Summer, Said 'They Should Not' Stop.  Violence is never the answer to resolving conflict, but it's hard not to see the hypocrisy of the left when they act surprised or condemn what happened at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday [1/6/2021].  In June 2020, in the aftermath of the nationwide rioting following the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer, Kamala Harris even gleefully predicted that the rioting wouldn't end, telling Stephen Colbert, host of "The Late Show," that they shouldn't end.  "They're not going to stop.  They're not going to stop," she told him.  "This is a movement, I'm telling you.  They're not gonna stop.  And everyone beware because they're not gonna stop.  They're not gonna stop before Election Day and they're not going to stop after Election Day.  And everyone should take note of that.  They're not gonna let up and they should not."

A Democrat-controlled Senate Spells Doom for Kamala Harris.  [Scroll down]  As most politicians come Harris is fairly young at the age of 56 (especially when one considers the age of Joe Biden), she was a senator and is both a woman and a person of color.  In fact, one could say that Kamala Harris was being groomed by the Democratic Party to run for president in 2024 as we all know Joe Biden will be too elderly by that point at the age of 82 to run.  All was looking really rosy for Harris on the front of running for president until the Georgia runoff elections, which now have placed Harris in the position of being one of the most powerful politicians in the country and possibly the most powerful vice president in the last 200 years.  How does this then spell her doom, you ask?  Three little words:  Tie-breaking vote. [...] Harris will be personally responsible for the passing of almost every bill the Democrats push through.  Packing the Supreme Court?  She will personally confirm every judge.  Raising taxes?  She will personally raise the tax on every American.  Banning guns?  She will personally attempt to seize the firearms of every last law-abiding citizen.

Kamala Tells Tall Tale of How She Fell Out of a Stroller During Civil Rights March — Story Was Lifted From 1965 Playboy Interview with MLK!  Kamala Harris actually said this.  Phony Kamala Harris completely made up a story about how she participated in a civil rights march in Oakland, California when she was a young child in a stroller in an October interview with Elle Magazine.  Harris told Elle that she had fallen out of the baby stroller and her parents didn't notice she was gone because they were so caught up in the energy of the march.  By the time Kamala's parents realized she was gone, they doubled back and found little Kamala upset.  When asked what Kamala wanted, she just looked at her mom and said "Fweedom." [...] Kamala Harris apparently lifted the "Fweedom" tall tale from a 1965 Playboy interview with Martin Luther King Jr.

Kamala Harris accused of stealing 'fweedom' story from MLK interview in Playboy.  In October, Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris claimed she told her mother that she wanted "fweedom" when she was a child and had just fallen out of her stroller at a civil rights march in Oakland, California, in an interview with ELLE magazine where she appeared on the cover.  Activist Andray Domise pointed out that Harris' story was lifted from a January 1965, Playboy interview with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. about a girl in Birmingham, Alabama.

Joe Biden admits who he believes really won the 2020 election.  One of the things elderly people are famous for is losing their filter, that little auto-edit in the brain that stops them from saying inappropriate things.  Many lose their filter because they just don't care (and good for them).  Others, though, lose it because nature has cruelly attacked their brain function.  The problem is exceptionally bad when the person wasn't too bright or too filtered to begin with.  And that brings us to Joe Biden, who just announced that Kamala Harris is the real President-elect. [...] Deep down he's always known, which is why his mouth keeps slipping past his brain's filter to tell the world who's really taking over the White House should Biden manage to get in:  Kamala Harris.  In September, Biden referred to a "Harris Biden administration":  [Video clip]  In early December, Biden explained that, if Harris disagreed with him, he'd fake an illness and hand her the White House:  [Video clip]  And then, yesterday, Biden did it again.

Kamala Harris Gets Absolutely Obliterated After She Releases Video Claiming She Has Celebrated Kwanzaa Since Childhood.  Kamala Harris released a Kwanzaa video this holiday season detailing how she frequently celebrated the holiday as a child.  The video was obviously just more pandering from one of the phoniest politicians in American history.  The Twitter community wasn't having it considering Harris immediately got hammered for her bogus video as people pointed out all the flaws and lies in what Harris had said.

What Kamala Harris's big Kwanzaa lie reveals about the media.  [Scroll down]  Fast-forward almost four years and Kamala Harris, the presumed vice president — elect, issued a warm message to celebrants of Kwanzaa.  Harris, who is half-Jamaican, half-Asian Indian, and zero African, remarked in a tweet that Kwanzaa celebrations were one of her many favorite childhood memories, where people across multiple generations would tell stories and light candles.  Harris is obviously lying, as broken down in detail in American Thinker and by The Post Millennial.  She was born just 2 years before Kwanzaa was invented, her non-African ancestors are not associated with celebrating Kwanzaa, and there is abundant evidence of her celebrating Christmas in her childhood with no evidence of her celebrating Kwanzaa.  Yet where is the media's breathless reporting on Harris's obvious lie?  A Google News search for the phrase "Harris Kwanzaa" for the three days since her tweet barely yields 40 results.  No national outlets covered, let alone critiqued, her pandering lie.  Many of the search results were not even related to the same Harris who accused not-racist Joe Biden of forcing a little girl off a school bus for racist reasons, but were instead about someone else named Harris and Kwanzaa.  None of the search results on the first two pages was critical of Harris's obvious lie.

Why Kamala Harris Is Being Accused of Lying Over Kwanzaa Post.  Vice president-elect Kamala Harris was accused of lying after posting a Kwanzaa message claiming that she and her family celebrated the holiday growing up, despite the fact that she was born two years before it was invented by a violent, deranged felon.  "You know, my sister and I, we grew up celebrating Kwanzaa," she said in a video message.  "Every year, our family would — and our extended family, we would gather around, across multiple generations, and we'd tell stories.  The kids would sit on the carpet and the elders would sit in chairs, and we would light the candles, and of course, afterwards have a beautiful meal.  And, of course, there was always the discussion of the seven principles.  And my favorite, I have to tell you, was always the one about self-determination, kujichagulia." [...] That message raised eyebrows on Twitter, given that it was invented after she was born and that she is of Jamaican and Indian descent.  [Numerous tweets]

Kamala Harris:  The big buildup begins.  Is it time for Joe Biden to start hiring a food taster?  Seems the buildup is out there for Kamala Harris to become the Democrats' next president.  Take the word of professional bloviator, Tom Friedman, President Obama's past and maybe present golf buddy, who wrote a particularly ridiculous New York Times column, headlined:  ["]Kamala Harris Deserves a More Important Job["] [...] Friedman then goes on to propose her for something she is likely to flunk out at even more than mere academics — making her the Biden rural czar.  Harris, recall, washed out bigtime in Iowa, a state with a significant rural population.  She grumbled about moving to and living in Iowa as she pursued votes during the Democrat primaries, but nobody jumped on.  Rural voters there read her as a phony and went instead for either Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, or Biden.  Fatcat donors weren't impressed either.  Harris dropped out of the presidential race shortly after that, failing to win a single delegate.  She was viewed as a phony elsewhere, too.  But Friedman thinks she'd be just dandy for winning back rural voters lost by Democrats, whom he notes, a small chunk of are not white.  Biden who claims roots in Scranton, could not do it, but Harris, who grew up in Berkeley, California and Canada, and has never lived on a farm, would somehow be perfect.

Kamala Harris Reminds Everyone She's the Queen of Cringe.  Kamala Harris, or 'Black Hillary' as Redstater Jeff Charles calls her, has got to be the most cringe politician of the last decade, at least in so far as someone who has risen to the top levels of our government.  To the extent that there's a comparison, and there certainly is, she makes Hillary look charismatic.  Almost as if to provide more evidence of this, the Biden transition team decided it'd be a good idea to ask Harris what Hanukkah is about on video, because being married to a secular Jewish man apparently qualifies her to do so. [...] For example, did you know that Hanukkah is just about "light," you know, because they light candles and stuff.  Harris repeats that line several times in the beginning, almost as if she doesn't know what else to say, likely because she doesn't know what else to say.

Kamala Harris's 4 Biggest Threats Facing America:  Coronavirus, Recession, Racial Injustice, Climate Change.  Vice President-elect Kamala Harris posted a video on Twitter Tuesday [12/15/2020] thanking her supporters and promising that she and President-elect Joe Biden would confront the "four existential threats" facing the nation — coronavirus, the economic downturn caused by the pandemic, racial injustice and climate change.

The Editor says...
None of those are existential threats.  Coronavirus isn't nearly as serious it is depicted in the news media; "the economic downturn caused by the pandemic" is almost entirely the fault of lockdowns imposed by power-crazed over-reacting Democrat tyrants; "racial injustice," if it exists at all, is sporadic — hardly an existential threat — unless "racial injustice" includes affirmative action and reverse discrimination; and "climate change" is a non-issue because there is no extraordinary climate change.

Calls Begin for Kamala Harris to Have a 'More Important Job' Than 'Just the Vice President'.  Long before Joe Biden became the Democratic presidential nominee, reports circulated that the then-77-year-old former VP signaled he'd only commit to serving one term if elected.  This came after months of Democrats and media figures raised the issue of his age and cognitive health after a series of gaffes and flubs made during the primaries.  Even after he officially secured the nomination, the questions about Biden's mental fitness to lead persisted.  At one point when he was point-blank asked about it by a reporter in early August 2020.  Days later, he announced Sen. Kamala Harris as his vice-presidential running mate.  Along with his choice of Harris came the inevitable speculation from Republicans that Biden, who was still [making] several incoherent statements from the comfort of his basement, would be a mere figurehead if elected.  At the same time, Harris would effectively take the reins and officially take them in the event Biden was already making plans to step down after the election.  Such speculation was further fueled by reports from pro-Biden news outlets like CNN, who suggested the reason Biden chose Harris was to have someone ready to step up "if and when" he "decides to step aside."  A month later, both Harris and Biden each talked within a day of each other about a "Harris administration."  Harris corrected herself, but Biden did not.

Harris tells Gavin Newsom Senate pick is his decision to make.  Vice President-elect Kamala Harris is staying out of the fraught selection process to fill her Senate seat.  A senior Harris aide told the Washington Examiner that the California Democrat has discussed the soon-to-be-vacant seat with Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is due to appoint her successor, but insists that the selection is up to him.  "She believes that it is a decision for Gov. Newsom to make.  She has communicated that, and she thinks he is going to make the decision that's best for the state, but she does believe it's his decision," this aide said.

Kamala Harris And Her Husband Wrongly Portray Hanukkah As A Social Justice Holiday.  I'm not sure what the point of the video was.  Harris tells the camera that the meaning of Hanukkah "is really about the light, and bringing light where there has been darkness.  And there is so much work to be done.  And it is a celebration of, always, Tikkun Olam, which is about fighting for justice, and fighting for the dignity of all people."  I am reasonably familiar with the liturgy of Hanukkah — now in its fifth day — and the words "Tikkun Olam" do not appear anywhere.  Tikkun Olam, which means repairing the world, is a Jewish concept, but it has been appropriated by Left in America as a synonym for social justice.  But not social justice in any historic Jewish sense of the word, but social justice as defined by the Left.  [Video clip]

Kamala Harris is a Hypocrite and Liar.  In my opinion, it is not that hard to see that Kamala Harris is a hypocrite, just like the rest of her party.  She has, for some reason, been chosen as Biden's Vice Presidential pick.  As if anyone is excited to vote for a senile grafter and hypocritical former District Attorney.  But, in any case, in signing on to the Biden campaign, Kamala has shown that she is a complete and total hypocrite.  In what ways is it obvious that Kamala Harris is a hypocrite is a liar?  Well, a dizzying number of ways.  I'll stick to my favorites, but know that there are more.

Kamala Harris Vows Amnesty in First 100 Days, Restarting Immigration from Exporters of Terrorism.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) detailed Democrat Joe Biden's plans to drastically reopen various routes of migration to the United States, including an amnesty for all 11 to 22 million illegal aliens in the U.S. and a restart of immigration from countries that export terrorism.  During a brief, pre-recorded speech at the National Immigrant Integration Conference, Harris said she and Biden are focused on undoing President Trump's reforms that sought to protect American citizens from security threats and the national workforce from unfair foreign competition.

Memo: Kamala Harris Implicated in Hunter Biden's China Energy Company Scheme.  In a story that received next to zero coverage in the mainstream media, an internal email/memo from Democrat presidential hopeful Joe Biden's brother, Jim Biden, to the hierarchy of SinoHawk Holdings, the partnership between the CEFC China Energy Company (CEFC) and the Biden family, cataloged a rich list of "key contacts" that included then-US Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), and other high-level Democrats and Progressives.  The memo was sent from Jim Biden to James Gilliar, Tony Bobulinski, Hunter Biden, and Rob Walker with the subject line, "Phase One Domestic Contacts/Project."

This Election Doesn't Pass the Smell Test.  Let's start with this inconvenient and overriding truth about the 2020 election:  there is no such thing as a Joe Biden fan.  Nobody actually likes Joe Biden, nobody admires him, nobody looks up to him. [...] His running mate, Kamala Harris is, if anything, even less popular than Biden.  As I wrote in April of 2017, just as America was beginning to get a good look at her:  "Imagine a combination of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, and you've got Kamala Harris, the current seat-warming senator from California who, like Obama, is using the World's Greatest Deliberative Body as a resume-puncher before swiftly moving on to bigger things:  the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination...  She combines Obama's race with Hillary's sex, and as identity politics goes these days, that's going to be tough to beat."  The repellant, transparently phony Harris crashed and burned during the rigged anybody-but-Bernie primaries, but the "progressive" Democrats never fell out of love with her.  Instead, they contrived to clear the decks for Biden by persuading Amy Klobuchar and Pete Buttigieg to drop out just before Super Tuesday.  "We do not in our party want to just eke by a victory.  We want to win big," said Klobuchar.

For Better Or Worse, Trump Must Fight This Legal Battle Until the Bloody, Bitter End.  We're getting down to the wire here and most reasonable people at this point have come to terms with the fact that President Trump is probably not going to be in the Oval Office come 2021.  The cards are stacked and it looks like we're going to have to figure out how to accept that two of the worst politicians in America have managed to stumble their way into the Executive branch.  Kamala Harris was such a terrible presidential candidate that her campaign died in an epic nosedive as soon as she had to talk for longer than 30 seconds at a time.  Now she's most likely going to end up our president once the medication that is keeping Biden alive runs out.  It's just... surreal.

Kamala Harris is slammed on Twitter after pleading for people to help small businesses months after she also requested help to bail out jailed rioters.  Vice President-elect Kamala Harris has come under fire after she tweeted her support for small businesses that had been affected by the coronavirus pandemic - months after asking for donations to bail out jailed rioters who burned stores.  'Small businesses, especially Black and minority-owned businesses, urgently need relief to survive the effects of coronavirus this winter,' she tweeted on Saturday [11/28/2020].  '@JoeBiden and I are committed to helping these businesses during this pandemic and get them the support they need to thrive in years to come.'

Harris worked with Soros front so Californians could 'vote safe'.  Two prominent California Democrats have troubling ties with a George Soros funded election 'integrity' organization.  Sen. Kamala Harris is one, laying the groundwork to giving the organization a toe hold in the state.  Another is Sec. of State Alex Padilla, who is in charge of California elections.  It seems the Soros group will have a hand in any audits of votes in battleground states, as well as California.

The Left's Utter Nonsense.  [Scroll down]  In fact, this presidential wannabe will not even be president for more than a few weeks if he were to be inaugurated.  We're all supposed to think that's just fine.  We're not even supposed to notice that this person the left has put forward is physically and mentally so substandard that it's doubtful he could handle a part time job at Burger King, let alone a 24/7 uber-stress position like leader of the Free World.  We're to concede that his VP will in fact be the president.  Nuts to that.  She got nowhere in the Democrat primary — why should she be president now?

'They want Kamala in there tomorrow': Limbaugh says Dems to dump Biden.  Joe Biden, if he becomes president, could be in danger from his own party, suggests talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh.  It's because the Democrats favored candidates from the far left during their primary but knew none of them could win the White House.  So they put an extremist on the ballot as vice president, Kamala Harris, and once Biden is in office, he's done, Limbaugh said.  "They want to get rid of him as soon as they can.  They have no intention of this guy serving a full four-year term," he said.

How much influence will Kamala Harris have?  There are two kinds of vice presidents, those who enter the office with chops and those who don't. [...] Lyndon Johnson, Hubert Humphrey, and Dick Cheney are probably the best examples in my lifetime of vice presidents who took office with chops.  Spiro Agnew and Dan Quayle are good examples of ones who didn't.  Chops don't guarantee that the president will listen much to his VP.  Johnson had very little influence with President Kennedy.  Humphrey didn't have much with President Johnson.  But if a vice president lacks chops, it's very likely that he (or she) won't be taken seriously.  Kamala Harris lacks chops.  Her presidential campaign was a fiasco, remembered only for the cheap shot she took at the man who will be her boss.  Harris never distinguished herself in office.  She wasn't a leader in Congress, never served a president, and never ran a state.  Nor does Harris lead a wing of her party.  Biden leads one wing, Bernie Sanders leads the other.  Harris made the ticket only because of her race and gender.  Race and gender are not chops.

Debunking the absurd conspiracy theory that Kamala Harris will take over as president.  Vice President-elect Kamala Harris has been the subject of a number of conspiracy theories by far-right agitators and meme-makers.  But one of the most widespread — and likely to gain momentum as Joe Biden's inauguration nears — is the false claim that Harris will soon take over as president.  The tale goes like this:  Once inaugurated, President Biden will have some kind of health issue that necessitates him stepping down permanently, thus installing Harris as the new president.  According to conspiracy believers, this will not be a spontaneous act but the liberals' master plan all along.

The Editor says...
Yes, that is the plan.  Yes, I do believe it.  Yes, it is a conspiracy.  And no, it won't be long before it happens.

Voter Fraud Plus Bait-and-Switch Equals Tyranny.  As their candidate for president of the United States, Democrats selected Joe Biden, 77, a 47-year Senate veteran and loser in 1988 and 2008 presidential bids.  In 2020, Biden says he's running for the Senate, doesn't know his location and claims 200 million Americans have died from Covid.  And so on.  Joe may be above ground, but to all but the willfully blind he is completely incapable of carrying out the duties of the presidency, the most difficult job in the world.  Democrats [...] wanted to get somebody else in the office.  That would be Kamala Harris, supposedly qualified as an intersectional "woman of color."  Harris is a favorite of the "composite character" president formerly known as Barry Soetoro, who called her the "best looking attorney general in the country."  That invites a look at the way Harris became attorney general of California, and its relevance to the current campaign.  Democrat queenmaker Willie Brown also thought Harris, 30 years his junior, was good looking.  In a daring act of poontronage, Brown set up Harris in lucrative sinecures and backed her runs for San Francisco district attorney and state attorney general in 2010.

Harris's husband leaving law firm for role in Biden administration.  Douglas Emhoff, the husband of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, is leaving his law firm, DLA Piper, for a role in the Biden administration.  Emhoff will officially leave DLA Piper by Inauguration Day on Jan. 20, a Biden campaign spokesperson confirmed.  Emhoff took a leave of absence from his firm in August as Harris ran on the Democratic ticket.  "Mr. Emhoff is working with the Biden-Harris transition team to develop the portfolio he will focus on to support the work of the administration," the spokesperson said.  He will be the first man to be a spouse of a vice president after Harris made history as the first woman elected vice president.

Tucker Carlson mocks Kamala Harris for affecting 'Deep South' accent on campaign trail.  Fox News host Tucker Carlson dedicated a segment of his top-rated show on the eve of the 2020 election to mocking the way Sen. Kamala Harris spoke during recent campaign stops in Florida and Georgia.  Carlson compared Harris, the vice presidential candidate born in California and raised in Quebec, Canada, to Hillary Clinton affecting a Southern accent on the campaign trail in the past.  [Video clip]

Is Kamala Harris a Marxist or just incoherent?  On the one hand, Harris seems to want everyone to have equal resources and support so they can compete on an equal footing, which is how she views equity.  At the same time, she defines equitable treatment as everyone ending up at the same place.  But if there is competition, then everyone will not end up at the same place.  There will be winners and losers.  Will another massive transfer of resources be required?  Just what is Harris' vision of an equitable society?  Is it one in which there is a massive redistribution not just of wealth but of "support," so that everyone starts out equally, followed by competition?  Or is it one in which everyone ends up at the same place?  Both visions are harrowing, of course.  Both entail totalitarianism.  Harris' definitions also seem confused.  Equality is a state in which everyone is equal.  This seems to be what Harris is talking about when she discusses "equity."  But Harris claims there is a "big difference" between equality and equity.

Wokers of the World, Unite!  In a fifty-second animated feature that she tweeted out this weekend, vice-presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris offers a glimpse of how she views the concept of equality.  The video begins with Harris casually stating, "So, there's a big difference between equality and equity," above the piping sounds of synthesized music.  "Equality suggests, 'oh everyone should get the same amount.' The problem with that, not everybody's starting out from the same place."  The animation makes no attempt at subtlety:  It shows a tall white man at the base of a mountain, within reach of one of two yellow ropes, while below him, a man with darker skin reaches unsuccessfully for a rope that is far out of reach.

Cackling Kamala Harris Dodges '60 Minutes' Question On Socialism.  The likely first female president of the United States if Joe Biden "wins" the election may also be the nation's first socialist leader if President Trump isn't reelected.  In her brief tenure in the Senate Kamala Harris has been the most far-left senator in the upper chamber of Congress, even outpacing avowed socialist Bernie Sanders and will be a nightmare for America if she ends up in the Oval office.  The former California attorney general and member of the San Francisco Democrat machine has been being groomed for the top spot by leftist interests and will quickly replace the senile Biden if he is installed into the White House.  And make no mistake, she is a socialist too.

Eight hard questions for the Democrats.  Biden is just a temporary front man. [...] The real head of the Democratic ticket is the supposedly vice-presidential candidate, Sen. Kamala Harris.  She is the one who still has all her marbles, and who will become president as soon as the doddering Biden dies or is declared too senile to be president.  She is deceptively presented as a Black American, while she is actually of a privileged East Indian-Jamaican background, and advanced in California politics by being a political kingmaker's sexual toy.  She has surpassed her lack of principles as California's Attorney General only by her record of being the most far-Left senator since entering the Senate (and what competition she beat).

Summarizing Joe Biden.  Biden will be 78 this month.  For more than a year he has been exhibiting a loss of mental acuity necessary to performing the job of president.  At least twice in the last week he's been unable to form comprehensible sentences.  Just a few days ago, in a stump speech apparently talking about Iran, Biden said, "I'll lead an effective strategy to mobilize Truaninonashufodopressure."  He apparently meant "true international pressure," but couldn't manage to get the words out.  A vote for Biden is a vote for Kamala Harris ousting him in 2021 under the 25th Harris is the most radically liberal member of the Senate.

They don't even hide it anymore.  Kamala is introduced as the next president of the United States.  Democrats supporting the Biden-Harris ticket are saying the quiet part out loud with more frequency as the election looms.  Vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris spent Friday urging Democrats to vote in a daylong tour of Texas, a state not visited by Joe Biden since the March primary.  Before stops in McAllen and Houston, Harris hit the stage in Fort Worth where she was introduced as the "next president."  With Democrats believing they can flip Texas blue, as more than 9 million Texans have already voted, Harris reached out to residents in her multi-city stops on the last day of early voting in the state which has 38 electoral votes.

Kamala Harris Introduced as 'Next President of the United States' During Texas Campaign Event.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) was introduced as the "next president of the United States" at a campaign event in Fort Worth, Texas, on Friday [10/30/2020].  "When future generations they ask us, and they're gonna ask us, what it was like to elect the first woman of color as vice president of the United States, and we will say, 'Yes, I was there.  I stood up, and I was counted,'" Texas state director for the Joe Biden campaign Rebecca Acuña told attendees.  However, moments later she introduced Harris as America's next president.  "Without further delay, I am so honored to introduce the next president of the United States, Sen. Kamala Harris," Acuña said.

The Nightmare Scenario of Biden-Harris and the Ascendancy of Kamala.  Kamala Harris is a radical with anti-America positions who will be within a hair's breadth of the Oval Office should Joe Biden win the presidency.  It's not just because Kamala has had her eye on the top slot, which she does.  It's not just because there are legitimate questions about Biden's cognitive state, which there are.  It's because the Biden Family Scandal may well be the most expedient means by which Harris' eye on the Oval Office comes to fruition.  The Biden Family Scandal is monumental, which explains why the media and Big Tech moved quickly and aggressively to censor it.  There's mounting evidence that the Biden family made millions of dollars from deals with foreign entities (China, Russia, the Ukraine for starters).

The Police Defunding Foundation Behind Kamala Harris.  [Scroll down]  When Maya Harris, Kamala's sister and a close advisor, was chosen to head the ACLU of Northern California, [Quinn] Delaney made the announcement as the chair of its board of directors.  The head of the Akonadi Foundation, Lateefah Simon, is a close friend of Kamala's.  The two women have campaigned for each other and Kamala has been described as Lateefah's mentor.  Delaney and Jordan don't just donate to candidates:  they finance radical leftist causes.  Proposition 16, the push to legalize racial discrimination using affirmative action in California, was financed by millions of dollars from them.  But their biggest vehicle was the Akonadi Foundation named after an African goddess.  Fueled by critical race theory, the Akonadi Foundation declared that it was out to stop "structural racism" which it defined as the "privileges associated with whiteness".  Quinn Delaney is white.  Her son, TMG Fresh, enjoys a privilege that not only includes two mansions, but also blonde cornrows, and rapping, "let me give you some advice, it might just save your life" and "that's called cappin where I'm from".  Where he's from is a suburban mansion in the Bay Area where they call that appropriation.  But the Akonadi Foundation has poured millions into pro-crime projects, critical race theory agitprop, and radical Marxist groups interlinked with the racist Black Lives Matter movement.  Akonadi boss Lateefah Simon is not only closely connected to Kamala, but she also serves as an advisor to Governor Newsom.  And Newsom appointed her to a task force on "police reform".  Simon, who also serves as BART's board president, pushed a move to defund the police by shifting money from officers on the transit system to "unarmed ambassadors".  When her attacks on police officers were criticised, she falsely accused a board director of racism.

Yes, [the] Media Are Rigging [the] Election Against Half The Country.  Here's How.  David Daleiden, an undercover journalist who showed that Planned Parenthood was engaged in trafficking of unborn baby body parts, had his entire life upended by Kamala Harris prosecuting him for his journalism.  Journalists didn't think it worthy of coverage, even though many think she could be president within a matter of months.

Journalist Who Exposed Planned Parenthood:  Kamala Harris Weaponized Her Office to Punish Me on Behalf of Her Donors.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) has a history of abusing the powers of her office to target and punish Americans she disagrees with.  I know firsthand that Harris is one of the biggest threats to First Amendment civil liberties that our country has ever seen because I have been on the receiving end of her unconstitutional abuses of power when she was California's attorney general.  In 2015, after I released undercover videos of taxpayer-funded Planned Parenthood officials trafficking the body parts of live-aborted fetuses, Planned Parenthood was desperate and furious.  The organization turned to Harris, its political patron in the California Attorney General's office, for help to silence me and my message.  Though local law enforcement made it clear to Planned Parenthood that the California videos were recorded in public places and were perfectly legal, the abortion provider and its allies within the state Department of Justice conspired to enforce California's video recording law for the first time ever against newsgathering, in order to punish me for speaking out.

Kamala Harris speaks at North Carolina rally to crowd of approximately TEN people.  Kamala Harris was in Asheville, NC on Wednesday for a campaign rally, but almost nobody showed up.  [Video clip]  The cameras, upon zooming out and panning around at the get-out the vote event, showed just six people present.  If there were more people attending, they did not appear on camera, and crowd sounds were not audible.

Kamala Harris Embarrassing Interview on 60 Minutes.  Democrat vice presidential candidate California Senator Kamala Harris had a difficult time answering simple questions about her political philosophy.  On Sunday, Harris appeared on 60 Minutes with CBS News anchor Norah O'Donnell and was asked if her input to Democrat presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden would come from a "socialist or progressive perspective" if they were elected into the White House.  O'Donnell took note on how Harris' views are different than Biden's.  Harris' first reaction was to laugh at the question like it was a joke but it was clear she didn't know how to respond.

The Editor says...
Hillary Clinton does the same thing.  When confronted with a question for which she is not prepared, she stalls for time by bursting out in her signature cackle.  It entertains and informs no one.

The Kamala Harris Nervous Laugh is What Gamblers Call a 'Tell'.  Kamala Harris has a habit of launching into peals of laughter when she is asked questions, even serious ones.  It's likely a nervous tic, and it's possible that she doesn't even realize that she does it.  In the world of gambling, this is called a tell.  An unconscious and often uncontrollable behavior that serves as a clue to others that a player is bluffing or lying.  Harris was interviewed on 60 Minutes this weekend, and when she was asked if her view on certain issues was progressive or socialist, she launched into a laugh.

Kamala Harris's liberalism is no laughing matter.  Vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris appeared shocked during an interview with 60 Minutes this weekend after being reminded that she is one of the most liberal senators in Washington.  She co-sponsored Medicare for All and endorsed the Green New Deal, as CBS News's Norah O'Donnell pointed out.  She opposes nearly all restrictions on abortion and regularly advocates for tax increases. [...] And voters need only look at Harris's voting record to realize that she is no moderate, nor has she ever been.  The nonpartisan GovTrack ranked Harris as "the most liberal" compared to all other U.S. senators because she was the least likely to join bipartisan bills and because she either voted for or co-sponsored the most liberal bills possible.  The leftists seem to agree because Americans for Democratic Action gave Harris a perfect liberal rating, as did Progressive Punch, which rated Harris the fourth-most liberal of all 100 senators.  Not even Bernie Sanders can touch Harris's score.

'60 Minutes' Host Tells Harris She Is The Most Far-Left Member Of U.S. Senate.  Harris Struggles To Respond.  Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) struggled to respond during a "60 Minutes" interview that aired on Sunday when she was confronted over the fact that she has been rated as the most far-left member of the U.S. Senate.  "You're very different in the policies that you've supported in the past," CBS News host Norah O'Donnell said.  "You're considered the most liberal United States senator."  "I — somebody said that and it actually was Mike Pence on the debate stage," Harris said as she laughed.  "Yeah.  Well, actually, the non-partisan GovTrack has rated you as the most liberal senator," O'Donnell responded.  "You supported the Green New Deal; you supported Medicare for All; you've supported legalizing marijuana.  Joe Biden doesn't support those things."

Kamala Harris clangs a communist gong.  A vote for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris is a vote for communism.  There's no other way to paint it.  From Orlando just the other day, a jubilant Harris took the stage to scream, "Justice is on the ballot in 2020.  Economic justice is on the ballot in 2020.  Climate justice is on the ballot in 2020.  Health care justice is on the ballot in 2020.  Reproductive justice is on the ballot in 2020.  Criminal justice reform is on the ballot in 2020."  This is the language of communists.  This is the rhetoric of communist revolutionaries trying to jumpstart an uprising against corrupt, mismanaged, tyrannical government.  And the problem here, of course, is that America is far from corrupt, mismanaged, tyrannical.  In fact, the only tyranny that emerges in America's political systems are those run by the Democrats — the very party that Harris represents.

Email reportedly sent from Biden's brother to Hunter references Kamala Harris.  An email sent by Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's brother Jim to Hunter Biden and others regarding a potential business venture with a now-bankrupt Chinese conglomerate included the name of Biden's vice presidential running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris, according to a report.  The email, dated May 15, 2017, and obtained by Fox News, is not related to the laptop or hard drive belonging to Hunter Biden that was first reported on by The [New York] Post, according to the network.  In the correspondence, Jim Biden shares a list of "key domestic contacts for phase one target projects" for the venture with CEFC China Energy Co.  The list included prominent Democratic names such as Sens. Harris of California, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Dianne Feinstein of California and Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, former Virginia Gov. Terry McCauliffe and others.

Harris in spin mode after Trump wastes no time calling Biden's bluff on fracking.  The campaign of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and running mate Sen. Kamala Harris of California shifted into political spin mode Friday to push back against claims by President Donald Trump's campaign that they both want to ban fracking.  "Joe Biden is not gonna ban fracking," Harris told reporters as she prepared to travel to Georgia for a campaign event in Atlanta.  "He's gonna deal with the oil subsidies but that's... you know, the president likes to put everything out of context.  "But let's be clear:  What Joe was talking about was banning subsidies, but he will not ban fracking in America," she added.

The Editor says...
Mr. Biden says he wants to eliminate the use of fossil fuels.  During the primary race, he said he wanted to ban fracking.

Harris: I Oppose Barrett for 'Reasons That Include... the Right of Women to Make Decisions About Their Own Body'.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D.-Calif.) said in a campaign appearance in Asheville, N.C., on Wednesday that she will oppose the confirmation of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court because among other things "the right of women to make decisions about their own body."

The Editor says...
If she's talking about abortion, that's a process that involves more than one person's body.  You can make all the bad decisions you want about your own body, but homicide is not a right.

Report: Kamala Harris Implicated In Hunter Biden China Deal.  Fox News received an email connected to the China business deal with now-defunct Chinese company CEFC The New York Post reported last week involving Hunter Biden.  This email has a list of "domestic contacts/projects," which includes Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris. [...] Hopefully, Fox News or The New York Post will release another email that can give us more context of this phase one email.

Decimal points are so inconvenient!
Kamala Harris Claims 220 Million Americans — 66% of the Population — Died from CoVID.  Senator Kamala Harris raised the eyebrows of voters across the United States this week when she claimed the Coronavirus is responsible for 220 million fatalities in the United States alone; roughly 66% of the entire population.

Kamala Harris Campaigns Before Tiny Group of People In North Carolina.  Kamala Harris made a campaign appearance in North Carolina on Wednesday to a very small crowd.  Including security, it looked like there was barely a dozen people in attendance.  Democrats and the media keep saying North Carolina is in play for Joe Biden but if this crowd is any sign, that's hard to believe.

Biden's Mental Acuity Is Not an Issue.  [Scroll down]  If Harris had done really well in the vice presidential debate versus Mike Pence, the worry about Biden's mental state would have been be even less significant, and there would have been a major bounce to the Democrats' benefit in the polls.  But instead, Harris looked like the trite, squawky intellectual lightweight that she is, while Pence came across as measured, respectful, and thoroughly competent.  Not thrilling but certainly solid.  Pence's showing may cause a few undecideds to lean toward the Republicans, but the debate was in no way the showcase of Harris-as-President-Don't-Worry that the Democrats were hoping for.  Despite the high expectations from Democrats going in, the 2020 vice presidential debate turned out to be the non-event it always is.

Kamala Harris' Husband's Firm Makes Big Money Working for China.  Douglas Emhoff, the husband of Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris, works at a multinational law firm that consults for several companies owned by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and that employs former CCP officials.  Emhoff's firm, DLA Piper, boasts of its nearly 130 years of experience dealing in China, as well as its team of 140 lawyers who make up a "China Investment Services" branch.  Harris' husband has served as a partner in the firm's Intellectual Property and Technology practice and its Media, Sport, and Entertainment sector since 2017.

A very San Franciscan president.  The most under-appreciated fact of the 2020 presidential campaign is that Kamala Harris, the woman likely to soon replace the geriatric Biden should the Democratic ticket win, is a creature of San Francisco political machine.  Harris was born 56 years ago today in Berkeley, the daughter of two graduate students, and spent her formative years in the East Bay.  She attended Howard University where she learned nothing about rap, returning to the Bay Area afterwards.  Her political career took off after an affair with then California State Assembly Speaker, and the future mayor of San Francisco, and the City's powerbroker, Willie Brown.  Brown was twice her age at the time, and his wife was battling cancer.  Before being elected to the US Senate, the Bay Area's native daughter served as a district attorney of San Francisco, and attorney general of California. [...] It's fair to say that if you want a vision of what Kamala Harris's America will look like, look at California.

Outrage among Hindu groups as Kamala Harris's niece shares image of her photoshopped as goddess.  Hindu groups in the US have expressed outrage at a morphed photo of the Hindu goddess Durga with Kamala Harris's face, after it was shared online by the vice presidential candidate's niece.  Meena Harris, who has been very active on social media with support for her aunt Kamala for the upcoming election, said in a tweet which has now been deleted:  "I am speechless, other than to say that the first day of Navratri was LIT."  Navratri is a nine-day Hindu festival, which is currently being celebrated, to worship the feminine deity Durga.  Durga is known as the goddess of war, and symbolises the victory of good over evil.

Kamala Harris Was Raised Both Hindu and Baptist.  Kamala is the first Black woman and the first person of Indian descent to be nominated for a presidential bid by one of the two main parties, and her religious beliefs reflect her upbringing.  Her mother emigrated to the United States from India, as she studied endocrinology at UC Berkeley, while her father emigrated from British Jamaica.  Kamala's mother tried to keep her connected to her Indian heritage, visiting India a few times throughout her childhood.  She and her sister, Maya, would visit both a Hindu temple and a Black church with her father, respecting both parents' upbringings.  "I grew up going to a Black Baptist Church and a Hindu temple," she told the Los Angeles Times.  Kamala now considers herself a Black Baptist.

The Editor says...
[#1] Anyone who is a Hindu is not a Christian.  One cannot be both Hindu and Christian.  [#2] Visiting a church does not make one a Christian.  There are many people sitting in the pews of many churches who pretend to be Christians but are not.

Hillary Clinton mocked for slapping Kamala Harris' VP chances with election 'kiss of death'.  Hillary Rodham Clinton seems to have a knack for saying and doing the worst things at the worst possible time, and with Election Day now two weeks away and millions of Americans already voting, she comes through again.  In a repeat of the infamous "Madame President" fiasco, Hills reminded Americans of the one thing that may scare them more than anything else — Kamala Harris' finger on the proverbial red button as commander in chief.

They Will Unseat Him:  The Plot Against All Precedent.  [Scroll down]  Nearly half of Democrats and two-thirds of Americans believe Biden won't serve even four years, elevating his running mate, Kamala Harris, whom just four percent of primary voters preferred, to the presidency.  Kamala's perceptible good fortune betrays the Democratic establishment's careful and considerate grooming of the junior senator for California.  Starting out as a 29-year-old attorney, Kamala's rise relied on the Pacific Heights coterie of Democratic power brokers, her ascendancy punching through immutable barriers erected in the paths of the unanointed.  From junior senator, Harris rose in just three years to serious candidate for the Democratic nomination, infused with the financial and familial wishes of the Bay Area machine and the San Franciscan billionaire's row.  The "Tony Blair of San Francisco," Kamala connects to every synapse of the Democratic Party's nervous system.

'Transition' to Kamala?  Not on Our Watch.  The Democrats' case for the election of Joe Biden is that he will keep the crazies in his party in check.  The Democrats' case for the election of Kamala Harris is that she will not. [...] Biden has been careful to describe himself as a "transition candidate." Transitioning to what, exactly?  Well, to Kamala Harris, that's to what.  Which means transitioning to the abolition of the Senate filibuster, to the destruction of the Supreme Court, to the elimination of private health insurance, to a ban on fracking, to the confiscation of the most commonly owned firearms in America, to the federal pre-clearance of all abortion law, to the seizing of patents, to the Green New Deal, and, if Harris is to be the transitionee, to an unpleasant, smirking, dismissive would-be authoritarian who has openly laughed at the idea that presidents are constrained by the United States Constitution.

Harris suspends travel after staffer tests COVID-19 positive.  Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, will suspend in-person events until Monday after two people associated with the campaign tested positive for coronavirus.  Joe Biden's presidential campaign said Thursday [10/15/2020] that Biden had no exposure, though he and Harris spent several hours campaigning together in Arizona on Oct. 8.  Both have tested negative for COVID-19 multiple times since then.

Kamala Harris falsely says Affordable Care Act hinges on Amy Coney Barrett nomination.  Sen. Kamala Harris said Tuesday [10/13/2020] that the Affordable Care Act and "all its protections hinge" on the outcome of the Amy Coney Barrett confirmation hearings.  "Republicans have spent a decade trying to destroy the Affordable Care Act," the California Democrat said Tuesday evening.  "Donald Trump named a Supreme Court justice who would tear down the Affordable Care Act."  Harris, who is also presidential candidate Joe Biden's running mate, noted that President Donald Trump has argued that the Affordable Care Act should be "struck in its entirety."  She said that the "Supreme Court could be just one vote away" from overturning Obamacare.

Kamala Harris' false 'Honest Abe' story and her misuse of American history.  Sen. Kamala Harris is the very embodiment of today's progressives.  She proved this again and again on the debate stage with Vice President Mike Pence, most clearly in her continual willingness to twist or rewrite history to make a point.  This time she simply made up a story about Abraham Lincoln's decision to appoint Salmon P. Chase to the U.S. Supreme Court as the election of 1864 approached.  Chief Justice Roger Taney, author of the notorious Dred Scott decision and an implacable foe of the president, died in early October.  In Ms. Harris' version of what happened next, Lincoln delayed appointing his successor until after the election because "Honest Abe said, it's not the right thing to do."  She suggested that "Honest Abe" acted honorably while Donald Trump, the dishonest president she and former Vice President Joe Biden hope to send back to Mar-a-Lago, is acting dishonorably in appointing Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the court before this fall's election.

Kamala Harris Needs Teleprompter During Senate SCOTUS Hearing.  Senator Kamala Harris chose to remain in her office just down the hall from the Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing today.  Oddly during her segment to deliver prepared remarks she relied on a teleprompter for the broadcast.  Senator Harris does not use a teleprompter well, and the effort was transparent.  [Video clip]  This is an example of how/why the DNC club control agents are pressuring for virtual debates.  Everything about the Harris-Biden ticket is a Potemkin village; both candidates are avatars, puppets, for the big club control agents behind the curtain.

In Arizona, Biden's supporters left something to be desired.  People are noticing the missing crowds when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris visited Phoenix on Thursday [10/8/2020].  Not a single person turned out to cheer on the Democrat party candidates.  None.  Nada.  Zip.  That is stunning.  Trump-supporters find this heartening when comparing this to the crowds who turn out for Trump.  The narrative is that the Biden/Harris team actively doesn't want crowds, so they're not telling people about their events to ensure that no more than 50 people ever show up.  The excuse is the pandemic.

The Editor says...
Why would a political party stage campaign events — a month before the election — and then do everything they can to make sure nobody sees it?  Obviously that is not credible.  It is far more likely that nobody wants to see Biden or Harris in person.

Kamala Harris:  This is how a dictator comes to power.  Americans tend to believe that the US is immune to dictatorship because of our constitutional system.  The current election proves how wrong that argument can be.  It is worthwhile considering how a vicious, conniving, immoral, unpopular, third-rate politician with extreme radical views — a would-be dictator — has come to within striking distance of the presidency.  Kamala Harris began her career in local San Francisco politics by leveraging her affair with a married man, Willie Brown.  After racking up a terrible record as a prosecutor, she wormed her way into the US Senate.  Her only claim to fame as a senator was her despicable treatment of Justice Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings.  Based on notoriety from that fiasco, she campaigned for the presidency.  Democratic Party voters, recognizing that she is nothing more than an unprincipled opportunist, relegated Harris to the bottom of the pile and ended her presidential aspirations ... but not for long.  In a sort of magician's hat trick, Harris managed to land on the ballot as Biden's pick for VP.  Make no mistake about it, Harris — not Biden — is the real presidential candidate.  Even now sly references are being made to the "Harris/Biden administration."

NYT's Astor:  Literally Any Criticism of Kamala Is Racist and Sexist.  After Wednesday's [10/7/2020] vice-presidential debate, the press was full of defensive accusations against Vice President Mike Pence for his alleged "mansplaining" behavior against Joe Biden's running mate Kamala Harris.  The New York Times in particular has made that particular Harris-as-victim trope a central theme of its campaign coverage, desperately turning every conservative argument against Harris into proof of her opponents' underlying racism and sexism.

Trump: Pelosi Hopes to Use 25th Amendment to Replace Joe Biden with Kamala Harris.  President Donald Trump told conservative talk radio host Rush Limbaugh on Friday [10/9/2020] that Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi hopes to use the 25th Amendment to get rid of Joe Biden if he wins the election and replace him with his running mate, Kamala Harris.  Earlier on Friday, Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) introduced a bill to create a "commission" that would evaluate the mental and physical fitness of the president — and initiate a process of removing the president from office, if necessary.

Joe Biden gives voice to what Americans suspect, says Kamala ready to be president 'on day one'.  Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has a bad habit of blurting out things he probably should keep to himself, though some would argue this is further evidence of his cognitive decline.  On Thursday [10/8/2020], Biden said what millions of voters fear, which is that running mate Sen. Kamala Harris is "ready on day one to be president" — a public acknowledgment that lends credence to the suggestion that the 77-year-old former vice president is a shell being used by the progressive left to gain control of the White House. [...] Harris got her launch in politics after she had an extramarital affair with former San Francisco Mayor and State Assembly Speaker Willie Brown.  She was 30 years old at the time she became intimate with the powerful 60-year-old politician, who'd go on to appoint her to her first significant political role.

Harris Not Ready for Prime Time.  [Scroll down]  In short, [Vice President Mike] Pence is battle-tested.  There's no challenge, domestic or foreign, he can't handle. [...] The same, however, cannot be said of Joe Biden's running mate, Kamala Harris, the junior senator from California rejected by her own party in the Democratic primary.  Throughout the past 18 months, the former prosecutor has flip-flopped on banning fracking, "Medicare for All" and issues surrounding racism.  For instance, she agreed to become Biden's running mate despite having lambasted him in the first Democratic primary debate for opposing busing and other implied "racist" behavior. [...] Harris has also flip-flopped on matters involving sexual harassment.  During the Brett Kavanaugh 2018 Supreme Court nomination hearings, she viciously attacked Kavanaugh, insisting we believe his accusers' unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations.  Yet, with her new boss, Joe Biden, similar allegations of inappropriate touching and assault from various women have been met with a shrug.

Kamala Harris Thinks You Are Stupid.  At the Vice Presidential Debates on Wednesday Night, Kamala Harris sunk to a new level for which the left has praised her over and over again. [...] When Kamala was given "equal time" though she had already had the same two minutes that Pence did on the subject, she repeated yet another media lie that bounties were paid on American troops in Syria.  She looked deep into the camera, as if attempting to connect with voters (who likely think she's a shrill moron), and wo-mansplained what a bounty is.  She slowed her speech like she was talking to someone who had an IQ just north of a piece of toast and defined a "bounty" in terms fit for a 2nd grader.  She thought that a generation of people who grew up with Dog the Bounty Hunter needed an explanation as to what a bounty was and how it works. [...] Later in the debate, Kamala decided that people didn't know what debt was and had to again, look into the camera and slow her speech to explain to us idiot Americans, what exactly is debt.  She was referring to Trump's tax returns that show he has 431 million dollars he has borrowed.  The Senator, who wouldn't know what leveraging and net-worth are if they bit her, was somehow trying to explain the President's personal finances to us, like we were a bunch of amoebas.

Kamala Harris Pulled her 300,000 Manufacturing Jobs Attack from a Far Left 'Prediction' — Not Based on Fact At All!  Like China Joe Biden, vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris made lying look easy last night at the VP Debate with Mike Pence.  Kamala Harris:
  •   Lied about stacking the US Supreme Court (she will)
  •   Lied about fracking (she won't)
  •   Lied about legalizing pot (she jailed 1,500 pot users)
  •   Lied about late term abortion (she will fund it)
  •   Lied about peaceful protests (BLM was out looting and terrorizing in Wisconsin last night)
  •   And she lied about America losing 300,000 manufacturing jobs in Trump's trade war with China (never happened, came from a nonsensical far left prediction!)
Democrats have to lie because Americans don't support their radical positions — nor should they.

Fact Check:  Kamala Harris Makes Up False Quote from Abraham Lincoln.  CLAIM: Abraham Lincoln declined to fill a Supreme Court seat because it was too close to the election.  VERDICT: FALSE.  The Senate was out of session.  He filled it — in one day — as soon as it was back.

The 24 Lies Kamala Harris Told At Last Night's Debate.  Kamala Harris' body language isn't good.  While Mike Pence often looks a little like an animated statue; his movements are very placid and he's extremely still — it wouldn't be unfair to say that Pence exhibits very little body language at all — Harris, on the other hand, is a waterfall of body language, almost all of it off-putting.  She flashes this very hostile smirk incessantly.  She does the "I won't be lectured to" [...] pose which comes off as entirely disrespectful and ugly.  She has this wild expression in her eyes which comes off almost as a tell that she's lying.  She's insincere, and she's insecure, like she knows she conned her way to where she is.  She's looking for something to be offended by and seems to pounce on such opportunities.

Kamala Harris's Dishonesty on Abe Lincoln.  It was impossible to miss how Kamala Harris, like Joe Biden, refused to answer questions about their plans to expand the Supreme Court.  But she also misrepresented history.  Harris claimed at the VP debate that Abraham Lincoln refused to nominate a candidate for Chief Justice in October 1864 because "Honest Abe said, it's not the right thing to do" and wanted the people to vote first.  Lincoln, of course, said no such thing.  He sent no nominee to the Senate in October 1864 because the Senate was out of session until December.  He sent a nominee the day after the session began, and Salmon P. Chase was confirmed the same day.  And Lincoln wanted to dangle the nomination before Chase and several other potential candidates because he wanted them to campaign for him.  Lincoln's priority was winning the election, which was necessary to win the war — and he filled the vacancy at the first possible instant.  Kamala Harris is simply inventing history.

Kamala's Face, Pence's Fly Steal Show at Vice-President Debate.  Last night we had the vice presidential debate.  One big media takeaway from the debate was that a fly landed on VP Mike Pence's head.  That's the media for you, so stunning, so brave with their analysis and insight. [...] Pence had a disadvantage as far as media coverage goes because he's a man and anytime he tried to argue or dispute the disinformation campaign coming from Kamala, he'd be accused of sexism.  Nevertheless, I think he did a good job.  Kamala spewed out the predicable talking points:  the "good people on both sides" and the Eurotrash countries don't like us, won't answer if Biden/Harris will pack the court, and Trump knew there was a deadly pandemic but kept it secret.  That lie is particularly absurd.  Did Trump think he would hide the fact that people were dropping dead of a novel virus?  Do you know what Kamala was doing in January when she was briefed on the Chinese virus?  She was voting to convict the president during the impeachment saga.  And of course, all the Democrats flipped out when Trump banned travel from China to stop more infections from entering the United States.  What did the Democrats do about the virus?  Nothing, they disappeared.

Shameful moderator bias at the vice presidential debate.  One tragedy of this election season, and all modern election seasons, is that the Democrats' radicalism is being hidden from the American people by a complicit media establishment.  It would have been nice, then, if Wednesday's vice presidential debate could have been a teaching moment where light was shined on Kamala Harris's and Joe Biden's toxic positions.  Unfortunately, moderator Susan Page's bias made this impossible.  Page, USA Today's Washington Bureau chief, made sure to inquire about how Judge Amy Coney Barrett's confirmation to the Supreme Court would affect abortion, exhibiting the typical leftist obsession with prenatal infanticide.  She asked Vice President Mike Pence how he thought his state of Indiana should legislate on the matter were Roe v.  Wade struck down (I didn't know he was again running for the Hoosier State's governor).  This might be a fair question — that is, if Harris had been asked about her and Biden's radical pro-prenatal infanticide positions.  Harris supports "'abortion on demand at any time, any where [sic], and under any circumstances,'" LifeNews.com quotes president of National Right to Life Carol Tobias as stating.  And both she and Biden advocate taxpayer funding of prenatal infanticide.

7 Quick Takeaways On The 2020 Vice Presidential Debate.  [#6] Smug Alert:  One of the most surprising things about last night's debate was how Harris struggled to keep cool, particularly at the beginning.  A split-screen showed both candidates for much of the debate. [...] Harris bobbed her head, shook her head, laughed oddly, sneered, and generally exuded smug vibes.  Controlling facial expressions on television is difficult, but it's important for the medium.  The campaign appeared to try to explain her debate defeat by claiming that Pence had "mansplained" to her, a weak retort under the best of circumstances.  But following a debate where everyone witnessed how condescending and smug Harris came off, particularly without merit, it was an explanation that failed to land outside of media echo chambers.  Pence is a deceptively strong debater who would have been tough to beat even on a good night, but Harris' comparatively weaker substance combined with a frankly awful style did not help her out.

Far Left "Moderator" Susan Page Opens Up VP Debate with a Whopper:  "Coronavirus Not Under Control".  The first and only vice presidential debate took place Wednesday night in Utah.  The far left moderator opened up with a whopper saying the, "Coronavirus is not under control."  She then turned it over to Kamala Harris to slam Vice President Mike Pence.

Great moments in the vice-presidential debate.  For leftists, the debate established that Kamala is a fiery black woman and that Pence is a perfect example of toxic white masculinity.  In the real world, the debate showed that Kamala can recite prepared lines but lacks subject matter mastery, while Pence never lost control of himself and showed tremendous factual mastery.  Pence had a more uphill battle because of Susan Page, the moderator.  Her questions for Harris essentially asked what wonderful things she and Biden planned to do to fix the Trump disasters, while her questions for Pence were aimed at forcing him to defend all the allegedly terrible disasters he and Trump caused.

The Pence-Harris debate.  This was a real debate, a good debate.  It was one of the best debates associated with a presidential election that I can recall.  Both participants were sharp and both landed plenty of blows.  Both talked over the moderator, but not over each other.  Neither was very obnoxious.  Only one was relatively honest.  I'll get to that later.  There was a clear winner, I think.  It was Mike Pence.  He won on points on nearly all of the nine topics in the debate.  Some he won narrowly; others decisively.

Kamala Harris Lied Repeatedly and Got Away With It.  Senator Kamala Harris rambled through the debate lying about everything, from her call to ban fracking to Abraham Lincoln's response to a Supreme Court vacancy.  And she won't be called on it or fact checked about it because her lies are mostly the second hand products of the media that claims to fact check politicians.  If Kamala appeared to be a vacuous and hollow personality, it's because she's a delivery system for media narratives that are detached from her own record.  Politicians lie a lot, but Kamala doesn't simply lie, she mimics and echoes, when you listen to her, it's like putting your ear to a seashell.  Her career provides ample evidence that she doesn't believe in anything.  It's why she can play a tough-on-crime prosecutor one minute and a race-baiter the next.  It's all parts with no substance behind them.

Kamala Harris Lied About Abraham Lincoln and the Supreme Court.  [Scroll down]  Harris was correct that when Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger B. Taney died on October 12, 1864, President Lincoln did not nominate his successor, Salmon P. Chase, until after the election.  This had nothing to do with letting "the next president" choose the nominee, however.  As National Review's Dan McLaughlin explained, Lincoln delayed because the Senate was not in session when Taney died.  In fact, the Senate session ended on July 4, 1864, and did not convene again until December 5, 1864.  "It was once common for the Senate to be out of session for much of the summer and fall," McLaughlin wrote.  The Senate session calendar confirms this.  As McLaughlin noted, Lincoln nominated Chase on the very day that the Senate reconvened, and the Senate confirmed him that day.

Rand Paul slams Kamala Harris's 'lie' about Biden's support of fracking ban.  Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul called out Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris for denying Joe Biden's support for banning fracking during the vice presidential debate.  "In case you're watching Senator Harris lie about fracking right now, both she and VP Biden are on record, on video and will absolutely ban fracking," Paul said.  "They seek to end coal and all fossil fuels."

At VP debate, Pence's steady hand vs. the uncertainty of Harris was on full display.  Picking up on his victorious debate against Hillary Clinton's running mate Virginia Senator Tim Kaine in 2016, Vice President Pence once again demonstrated that he's ready to become president at a moment's notice.  Harris, on the other hand, came off as untested and unlikable.  This debate was Harris' first unscripted introduction before a national audience of general election voters who were interested in learning more about the first-term senator from California.  Harris would be vice president for the oldest president to ever be sworn into office at 78 years of age.  Harris failed to make the case that she's ready to assume command of our country or capable of being president of all the people, regardless of their beliefs.

VP Debate Verdict:  Kamala Harris showed there's still no there, there.  Harris tried to laugh and giggle her way through the debate.  She had some canned one-liners, but showed that her knowledge still is a mile wide, and an inch deep.

Kamala Harris Dodges Question on Packing Supreme Court.  Democrat vice presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) would not deny that a Biden-Harris administration would attempt to pack the Supreme Court, despite being asked repeatedly by Vice President Mike Pence during Wednesday's debate.  "When you speak about the Supreme Court, I think the American people really deserve an answer, Senator Harris," said Pence.

Mike Pence Wipes the Floor With Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on Coronavirus.  Pence began by noting that Trump did "what no other American president had ever done, he suspended all travel from China."  "Joe Biden opposed that decision, he said it was xenophobic and hysterical," the vice president continued.  Indeed, Biden did oppose the ban.  Yet the China travel ban "saved hundreds of thousands of American lives."  Next, Pence hit Biden on plagiarizing Trump's policy response to the pandemic.  "When I look at their plan that talks about advancing testing, creating new PPE, developing a vaccine, it looks a little bit like plagiarism, which is something Joe Biden knows a little bit about," the vice president quipped, noting that Biden suspended his 1988 presidential campaign after confessing to plagiarism.

Harris: I Won't Take a Vaccine if Trump Tells Us to, Will if Fauci Says to.  During Wednesday's vice presidential debate, 2020 Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) stated that if President Donald Trump tells us we should take a coronavirus vaccine, "I'm not taking it."  But she will take a vaccine if public health professionals like White House Coronavirus Task Force member Dr. Anthony Fauci say we should take it.

Mike Pence Just STOMPED On Kamala and Debate Moderator on Transfer of Power Question — What About Obama?  Vice President Mike Pence was asked during the debate by far left moderator Susan Page on a peaceful transfer of power.  This is a popular question on the left to attack President Trump and make him appear unhinged.  Pence, in his mild and calm voice, explained how Democrats have NEVER allowed for the peaceful transfer of power since Hillary Clinton was defeated in 2016.  VP Pence even brought up how Obama and Biden was spying on the Trump Campaign.  Then Mike Pence went on to talk about the Russia hoax scandal and investigation and the Democrat impeachment probe after President Trump's call to Ukraine.

Kamala Harris belongs in Hollywood, not Washington, D.C.  In the debate Wednesday night [10/7/2020], Harris proved herself to be an intellectual lightweight without a grasp of the issues, or the truth of the issues she attempted to elucidate.  She thinks she is informed, but to quote Reagan, so much of what she thinks she knows is wrong. [...] She displayed zero depth of knowledge of a single issue that was addressed.  Susan Page, Chris Wallace in a dress, framed every question as a Democrat talking point, but then she is the author of a fawning book about the wicked witch, Nancy Pelosi.  At least she did not become part of the debate but she did try to give the advantage to Harris.  It didn't help.  Of all the people Biden could have selected as a running mate, Harris is without a doubt the worst.  Her incessant smirking, inappropriate grinning, big flashing smiles, even when talking about COVID was bizarre.

Moderator Opens Debate With Loaded Question On Coronavirus, Hitting Trump Admin.  The journalist moderating Wednesday night's vice presidential debate between Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Vice President Mike Pence opened the debate with a loaded question about the novel coronavirus, framing the virus as out of control at the hands of the Trump administration.  "The coronavirus is not under control," moderator Susan Page, USA TODAY's Washington bureau chief, emphatically stated before reading off statistics of positive cases and ignoring plummeting hospitalization numbers.  Teeing up Harris, Page then asked the California senator what a Biden administration would do differently to combat the virus.  Harris, who did not lay out the restrictions a Biden administration would implement in her allotted two-minutes, slammed the Trump administration for allegedly keeping information from the American people and being slow to the draw when it came to their response.

Pence effectively went after Harris — and a very biased moderator.  Going into Wednesday's [10/7/2020] showdown, Mike Pence had two big jobs.  One, to defend the Trump administration's record, especially its response to the pandemic.  Two, convincingly paint the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris ticket as the most radical national nominees a major party has ever put forward.  Mission accomplished.  Pence is a skilled and disciplined debater, and his understated manner masks a killer instinct.  He was always good, terrific at times and put on a clinic in how to methodically carve up an opponent.  Whether it matters in the big scheme of things is a separate question.  Maybe a little, which is to say not nearly enough to change the dynamics of the race.

Newt Gingrich predicted some disturbing events if Biden wins.  [Scroll down]  During the debate, Kamala spoke openly about her plans to impose on the United States the criminal justice system in California: [...] The language highlighted in that wall of words is the crucial language.  Doing away with cash bail is why people arrested in blue states are immediately out on the street to kill again.  The claim about implicit bias is a lie intended to hamstring police.  The studies about so-called "implicit bias" have been debunked.  Moreover, there is no connection between a police officer's race and the likelihood that he will shoot a black person.  We've also seen what happens in Democrat-run cities that impose Harris's plans for criminal justice reform.  In Los Angeles, Sacramento, and the San Francisco Bay Area, crime is skyrocketing, with the streets now given over to homeless, often crazy, people, and stores and homes subject to endless break-ins.  Democrats have also made clear that they see California leading the way on labor laws (especially for illegal aliens), on climate change laws, and on gun control.  Kamala, the hardest left senator, is the harbinger of California's hard-left policies being instituted in Congress.

Report: Kamala Harris to Cast Mike Pence as 'Homophobic,' Attack Coronavirus Record in VP Debate.  The Daily Beast reports that Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) will attempt to attack Vice President Mike Pence in Wednesday night's vice presidential debate as a homophobe, in keeping with a false caricature Democrats have painted over the years. [...] Pence is an evangelical Christian who supports traditional family values but has no record of homophobia.

Moderator Susan Page Asks 0 Questions About Kamala Harris Raising Money For Bail Fund That Helped Release Domestic Abusers.  Debate moderator Susan Page on Wednesday posed zero questions to Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris about Harris raising money for a bail fund that helped free multiple domestic abusers and a man accused of sexually penetrating an eight-year-old child.  Page also failed to ask Harris, a California senator, whether she and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden will pack the Supreme Court if they win the November election.  When Pence pressed Harris on the matter, Page allowed Harris to dodge the question without providing a clear answer.

Pence Should Ask Harris Who Her VP Will Be.  [Scroll down]  If, hypothetically, Biden is suffering age-related cognitive decline — and these things are usually progressive — one has to consider whether Biden may have to be removed from office pursuant to the 25th Amendment.  I am not saying he would be removed because some "deep state" would seek to remove him.  I mean he might be removed for the actual purpose of the 25th Amendment.  The 25th Amendment has been used appropriately in the past, for example, when President Reagan had surgery, and when President Bush had a colonoscopy.  In Biden's case, it would likely not be temporary, but permanent removal.  Given Biden's age and condition, if Biden is elected, Harris will be more likely than any vice president in history to become president soon.  The vice presidency is a great honor and a great responsibility.  And never has this been more the case than it is with Harris.  So we need to know:  how will President Harris govern, and who will she select to be a heartbeat away from the presidency?

Bo Snerdley, PAC targets Kamala Harris in one doozy of an ad ahead of VP debate.  Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., the vice presidential running mate for Democratic nominee Joe Biden, is being held to account for voicing her support for the violent protests that rocked American cities over the summer.  Not by the mainstream media, of course, but by a "non-traditional" political action committee headed up by James Golden, aka Bo Snerdley, the longtime producer for talk radio titan Rush Limbaugh.  New Journey PAC seeks to realign the black vote with candidates and issues that "support conservative values and by consequence, help the black community," and the PAC released a video ad that draws on what could be the pivotal issue in next month's election — law and order.

Harris vs.  Pence VP debate — Get ready for a truly historic encounter.  The upcoming vice-presidential debate will be dramatically different than the first presidential debate.  The first presidential debate was a fast-moving clash of personalities — with a lot of clutter and confusion.  The vice-presidential debate can move more slowly and be more informative in clarifying the difference between the two tickets.  The contrast between Vice President Mike Pence's Indiana conservatism and Sen. Kamala Harris's San Francisco radicalism is so great that this should be a debate focused on issues far more than personalities.  The stage is set for a truly historic encounter.

Trump Campaign Trolls Kamala Harris With Promised Debate Guest.  President Donald Trump's campaign team took aim at Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris, promising to have deceased rapper Tupac Shakur attend Wednesday's debate.  According to CBS reporter Nicole Sganga, the Trump campaign informed her that Vice President Mike Pence would be bringing Tupac as his guest to the Salt Lake City event.

25 Questions Kamala Harris Should Be Asked in the Debate.  Wednesday's vice presidential debate provides an opportunity for the American public to get answers from Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA).  The Democratic vice presidential nominee should be asked the following 25 questions.  This list is by no means exhaustive.

Pence and Harris will be separated by plexiglas at Utah VP debate.  Vice President Mike Pence and opponent Kamala Harris will duke it out between a sheet of plexiglas and 13 feet of social distancing at their first and only debate in Utah on Wednesday [10/7/2020].  The last-minute changes were approved by the Commission on Presidential Debates amid mounting concerns of COVID-19 transmission after President Trump and at least a dozen associates and White House staffers contracted the virus, Politico reported.  While Pence has not tested positive for COVID-19, critics of the administration called for the Utah showdown to be delayed out of fear that the veep could be unwittingly carrying the virus.

The Editor says...
Is it not also possible that Kamala Harris could be "unwittingly carrying the virus?"

Kamala vs. ACB? Democrats Should Avoid It.  Even some of the most iconic politicians have had to hide their achilles heel. [...] Worse than a candidate having obvious flaws is when she and her campaign cannot acknowledge them.  Such is the case with Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), the Democratic nominee for vice president.  With the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, the real Kamala Harris could be thrust front and center by virtue of her position on the Senate Judicial Committee that holds confirmation hearings for court appointees.  Such sudden and unforgiving exposure could very well implode her already lethargic ticket with Joe Biden.  The Democrats have only one precaution available to them in order to avoid this humiliation:  Ask Harris to remove herself from the confirmation hearings on the pretext that she needs to concentrate on campaigning.

Kamala Harris Follows a Pattern.  Time for Democrat voters to take off the rose-colored glasses.  Kamala Harris completes the Democrats' Manchurian candidate ticket.  Let us explore a pattern of corruption peculiar to Democrats and see how Kamala Harris fits in.  Can there be any doubt about overt Chinese Communist Party (Chicom) influence in the US political class, especially among Democrats?  Here are some examples of that corruption. [...] These morally bankrupt parasites cannot be allowed to succeed in stealing our government.  The globalists are using the Chicoms as an instrument to achieve their perverted dream of over-throwing the most prosperous land of opportunity the world has ever seen.

Caste Aspersions.  [Scroll down]  Indeed, Kamala, with her degrees from black Howard U. and plebeian Hastings law school, is likely the least intelligent member of her family, trailing her lawyer sister (Berkeley and Stanford Law), cancer-researcher mother, and economist father.  In contrast to her meritocrat family members, Kamala launched her San Francisco political career the old-fashioned way:  by having sex with Mayor Willie Brown, who in return gave her a BMW and two taxpayer-funded sinecures.

The Left Has Delusions of Grandeur Over Kamala's Odds in Veep Debate.  It's a curious thing, the reality that our friends on the Left choose to live in.  If you happened to listen in to their takeaways from the first of three, 2020 presidential debates between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday night, you might be convinced that Joe Biden won the debate going away, the president was so obnoxious to Sleepy Joe and moderator Chris Wallace that it might be in the country's best interest to cancel the other debates, and Donald Trump is directing a full orchestra of racist dog whistles for a citizen militia group most Americans have never heard of.  Maybe it was kind of like an adrenaline rush or some other, pharmaceutical high, the jubilant mood that leftists and their media allies found themselves in in the minutes following the debate.  And with the unalloyed confidence of madmen and snake oil salesmen, it sort of follows that they would already start talking up how their  presidential  vice presidential nominee, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), will do in the debate next Tuesday.

Kamala Harris Mistakenly Refers To Late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg As 'Notorious BIG'.  Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris mistakenly referred to the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as the "Notorious B.I.G." during a Monday speech.  "She was part of our culture," Harris said.  "Yes, we wear those Notorious B.I.G. t-shirts with a lot of pride, but since she passed, there are parents reminding their children that she helped their lives."

Remember Kamala Harris?  Now, she's center stage for the Supreme Court fight.  When Kamala Harris was chosen as Joe Biden's running mate back in August, she was portrayed as a younger pioneering partner who would bring new energy and followers to the 2020 Democratic presidential ticket.  At 56, she is a generation younger than the 77-year-old Biden.  As a woman of color on a national ticket, she is certainly a pioneer.  Vice presidential candidates are traditionally the attack dogs of a national campaign, and as a former prosecutor, she seemed well-suited.  However, given Biden's unusually low-key political effort this time, Harris has been largely invisible.  Token visits here and there.  No big headlines.

Kamala Harris previews Barrett showdown in Senate statement.  Sen. Kamala Harris ripped President Trump's Supreme Court pick in a searing statement, setting up a showdown between the 2020 Democratic vice presidential nominee and Judge Amy Coney Barrett when she appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee next month.  "Just yesterday, I paid my respects to the legendary Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who devoted her life to fighting for Equal Justice Under Law and a more fair and just world," Harris wrote Saturday [9/26/2020].  "Her passing is devastating, and it would be a travesty to replace her with a justice who is being selected to undo her legacy and erase everything she did for our country."

Kamala's Turn in the Sun:  California Democrat Thrust into Spotlight in SCOTUS Battle.  America faces yet another challenge ahead of the swiftly approaching presidential election, and it will thrust a major player, Senate Judiciary Committee member Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), back into the spotlight after weeks of largely avoiding it.  Allies and critics alike have noticed Harris's unusual absence from the spotlight — particularly striking, given her role as Joe Biden's (D) running mate.  While she has lodged attacks at Trump, she has largely conducted herself in the same manner as Biden, remaining relatively publicly subdued and reserving her sharpest attacks for Twitter rather than during in-person campaign events, of which there have been few.  While the exact reasons remain uncertain, it is possible that Democrats fear her more radical views — and history — could turn away more moderate voters, especially given the widespread belief that Biden's running mate will assume office within his first term.

A failed attempt to act black:
Kamala Harris names Tupac 'best rapper alive'.  Vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris called Tupac Shakur the "best rapper alive" during an interview at the NAACP's virtual convention Friday — even though the legendary emcee has been dead for more than two decades.  "Best rapper alive?" CNN commentator Angela Rye asked the Oakland native.  "Tupac," Harris answered with little hesitation before Rye reminded her that the West Coast icon had passed away long ago.  "Not alive, I know, I keep doing that," Harris said with a laugh.  Tupac has notoriously been the subject of baseless conspiracy theories that he faked his own death when he was fatally shot in 1996, which Rye appeared to jokingly reference.

Proof positive Kamala Harris is a lying phony.  Even in a profession known for phoniness, Kamala Harris stands out as remarkably fake.  We expect politicians to lie — "what a beautiful baby!" — but we also expect them to be reasonably skilled at it.  Being unable to convincingly name a favorite thing takes a lot of experience in counterfeiting feelings.  Yet, yesterday [9/25/2020], in the softest of softball interviews on CNN, where she was asked about her various "favorites" — roast chicken is her "go-to" dish to cook (as if she spends a lot of time in time kitchen wearing an apron that says "kiss the cook") — she stumbled and revealed that she only pretends to listen to rap music.  Of course, liking rap music is believed to be essential to forge an identity as somehow African-American when none of her ancestors ever lived in the United States.  The closest her lineage comes to the experience of slavery is as slave-owners, according to her Jamaican father.  Joe Biden's handlers chose her as his running mate only because her darkish skin tone was supposed to fool blacks into thinking she is one of them and feels the pain of slavery that lies a century and a half in the past.  Watch below as very friendly CNN interviewer Angela Rye asks her to name "the best rapper alive."  [Video clip]

Kamala Harris Praises 'Brilliance' of Black Lives Matter and Its Marxist Founders.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) praised the "brilliance" of the Black Lives Matter movement and its founders in a conversation with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) on Friday [9/25/2020].  Harris, who is Joe Biden's running mate on the Democratic Party presidential ticket, was asked specifically to respond to claims that Black Lives Matter is a "terrorist" organization, which the interviewer attributed to President Donald Trump.

Kamala Harris praises BLM, says ongoing protests are 'essential' for change in US.  Peaceful protests against racial injustice are critical for the nation's progress and help to keep law enforcement in check, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., said Friday [9/25/2020].  "Nothing that we have achieved that has been about progress, in particular around civil rights, has come without a fight, and so I always am going to interpret these protests as an essential component of evolution in our country — as an essential component or mark of a real democracy," the vice presidential nominee said during the NAACP's national convention.  She added that protests were "necessary" as "the people's voices must be heard, and it is often the people who must speak to get their government to do what it is supposed to do, but may not do naturally unless the people speak loudly — and obviously peacefully."

Harris makes misleading statement on COVID-19 business loans while campaigning in Michigan.  Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris made a misleading claim while campaigning in Michigan on Tuesday regarding the supposed disparities in COVID-19 relief funds to Black restaurant owners, according to a report.  While visiting Flint and Michigan, Harris claimed that out of the hundreds of restaurants in Michigan that received relief funds from the Paycheck Protection Program, only one was Black-owned, The Detroit News reported.

Harris — not Biden — is the real candidate.  [Scroll down]  Make no mistake about it, Harris is the real presidential candidate.  Even now sly references are being made to the "Harris/Biden administration."  The Biden campaign chose Harris, says Marc Thiessen, because — in spite of her appalling record in politics — she is "ideologically flexible."  She is a complete opportunist with no moral center.  She will do as she is told.  Harris will play ball with the leftist gang that wants to continue what Obama began by fundamentally changing America into a leftist state.  Harris has some mitigating characteristics that hide who she really is from the voters.  She is a woman, she is a "person of color," and she appears to be part of the traditional Democratic Party.  In reality, she is all the way to the Left.  She believes in the Green New Deal, income redistribution, open borders, defunding/disbanding the police, repealing the first and second amendments, identity politics, equality of outcome, and — ultimately — socialism.

Newt Gingrich Puts Kamala Harris In a No-Win Situation Over Amy Coney Barrett.  Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich foresees President Donald Trump nominating Amy Coney Barrett as the woman to replace the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court, but having the tactical mind he does, Gingrich wants to make it clear that this is more of a problem for the Democrats than they think.  Barrett is a devout Catholic, and as such, effectively dared Democrats to attack her on those grounds, specifically potential Democrat VP Kamala Harris, who has a history of anti-Catholic bias.  "If President Trump nominates Amy Coney Barrett, Notre Dame Law Professor, Appeals Court judge, mother of 7 (2 adopted from Haiti), clerk for Scalia, devout Catholic, it will pose a unique challenge for Kamala Harris — the most anti-Catholic bigot nominated in over a century," tweeted Gingrich.  "Are Democrats prepared to say a devout Catholic is by definition unfit to serve on the Supreme Court?" he continued.  "If no pro-life Justice is acceptable then no faithful Catholic, Evangelical or Orthodox Jew can be considered.  Are Democrats really prepared to alienate that many Americans?"

Green Nazi Political Vegetarianism.  Kamala Harris recently warned about the great impact meat production has on planetary ecology and that more vegetables in the American diet would lighten such a detrimental environmental impact.  Such comments are rooted in the Green New Deal that is rigged to drastically reduce livestock production.  Cows in particular are singled out for all of the methane they produce that leads to a significant contribution to greenhouse gases in this country.

Get Ready for President Kamala Harris and VP Nancy Pelosi.  If you think your choice in this election is Trump versus Biden, you're blind, deaf, or really dumb.  Biden's not the candidate.  Biden is just a placeholder.  A brand name at the top to scam voters.  But he will never serve as the actual president.  Who's dumb enough to not see that?  The real behind-the-scenes winners will be Kamala Harris as president and Nancy Pelosi as VP. Add in the infamous radical "Commie Squad" as the cabinet.  That's who's really running the Democrat Party nowadays — Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Alyanna Pressley and AOC.  And don't forget Obama on the Supreme Court.

Buried News Reports.  In August, Kenosha, Wisconsin, on-duty local police officers received an anxiety-laden call from a woman about an individual attempting to steal her automobile.  They rushed to the scene and found Jacob Blake who immediately sought to get away from the police.  Recognizing him as the very individual involved in a previous felony sexual assault, the officers approached him, noted that he was holding a knife, and considered him dangerous.  Ordered to drop the knife, Blake refused and was tasered twice with no effect.  Blake then attacked one of the policemen causing two officers to draw their pistols. [...] Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris contacted Blake by telephone and told him she was "proud of him and how he is working through his pain."  The man she is "proud" of had previously been charged with felony third-degree assault, trespassing, and disorderly conduct.  And he was at it again with evidence that he had also drawn money using his victim's stolen credit card.  Kamala Harris made no attempt to discuss these matters with the Kenosha police who found themselves required to use force to subdue a criminal the Democratic Party's candidate for Vice President is proud of.

Biden-Harris Ticket All Over the Place on Nationwide Mask Mandate.  Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have struggled to deliver a consistent message on whether they would enforce a nationwide coronavirus mask mandate in office.  [Video clip]

The Biden Hoax.  Wavering voters need to wrap their minds around this fact:  President Trump isn't squaring off against Joe Biden.  He's battling the cabal that Biden is fronting.  If through some perversion, some warping of sensibilities — or epic fraud — Biden is elected president, it isn't just Kamala Harris who becomes de facto president.  It's the entire depraved enterprise that comprises the Democratic Party and the left.  Harris may well be the General Secretary in a "Harris Administration," but you can bet that she'd have a Politburo to answer to.  If Democrats steal the election, then for years ahead, a spiderweb of lies, fraud, and venality will stretch across America.  America will be run by some amalgam of Sacramento, Portland, and Chicago — or, in other words, some combo of Big Brother, lawlessness, and corruption.  The country may not free itself for decades.  Or the nation could break apart.

The Harris-Biden Administration.  [Scroll down]  Biden is deteriorating.  There's just no kind or delicate way around this point, although of course we don't relish the man's decline or take the suffering of old age lightly.  Had Biden been left at home to watch the twilight of his years descend with dignity, we would wish him only the best.  As it is, however, the Democrats have forced us to state the obvious [...] The man can't hold a microphone steady at this point, let alone form a coherent sentence.  The person who is rubbing her hands with delight at this abusive spectacle, though, is Kamala Harris.  Her complete lack of any redeeming qualities, or even any qualities that appeal to the electorate, has not stopped her from making a very serious bid for the highest office in the land.  Harris — implausibly, since she won not a single delegate during her own presidential bid — has a real shot at this thing, and she can taste it.  Not even her own voters like her.  But that won't stop her.

Family says Harris and Newsom trespassed for photo op.  A family who lost their Fresno area home in the Creek Fire said Gov. Gavin Newsom and vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris went on their property without permission.  Newsom and Harris, in Fresno County to see areas ravaged by the fire, toured the Pine Ridge Elementary School on Tuesday when they crossed the road to walk around the destroyed house.  "Those chimneys, they remind me — when you look at a neighborhood that's been wiped out, those chimneys remind me of tombstones," remarked Harris.  The homeowners, not enthused that Harris used the ashes of their property as a backdrop for the press, said neither she nor Newsom had the right to be there.

Kamala Harris Protected [is] by Rifles She Wants to Ban Americans from Owning.  During a recent trip to Miami, Florida, Democrat vice presidential hopeful Kamala Harris was protected by Secret Service agents using variants of the very rifles she wants to ban Americans from owning.  The Daily Mail published an article showing at least one Secret Service agent with a AR-platform rifle.  The rifle is outfitted with optics, a flashlight, and a greater-than-10-round magazine.  On August 31, 2018, Breitbart News reported more than nine million AR-platform rifles were manufactured for U.S. sales during Barack Obama's presidency.  By the late summer/early fall of 2019, when Robert "Beto" O'Rourke, Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden pushed a mandatory buyback of such rifles during the Democrat primary campaign, the National Shooting Sports Foundation estimated there were 16 million-plus privately owned AR-15s in the United States.

They're Not Gonna Stop.  The Democrat vice presidential candidate's background as a prosecutor made her so unpalatable to the Democrats' radicalized base that she failed to pick up a single delegate during her own presidential bid.  Sanders's delegates in California even vocally opposed Harris getting the VP nod.  But just three days after the Minneapolis 3rd police precinct was burned to the ground by BLM/Antifa rioters, "Kamala the Cop" called for donations for the bail fund responsible for springing alleged murderers, rapists, and rioters from behind bars.  Senator Bernie Sanders — whose own campaign workers threatened violence if he were not nominated — recently confirmed Harris's view when he intimated that the campaign to pressure the Democrat ticket further leftward would continue well after the election: "the day after [Biden] is inaugurated we are going to rally the American people to make certain that we implement the most progressive agenda in modern American history."

Harris-Biden gaffes spark questions over Democrat ticket leadership.  As American voters worry about Joe Biden's mental fitness to serve as the leader of the Free World, recent slip-ups from both the gaffe king himself and his running mate Kamala Harris are sparking widespread confusion.  While speaking to military families during a campaign event in Florida Tuesday, Biden appeared to suggest his vice presidential pick is the one at the top of the ticket for the Democrats' bid for the White House.  Many on social media suggested it may have been a "Freudian slip." The clip was trending on Twitter throughout the day.  Furthermore, Harris appeared to make the same mistake during a virtual roundtable with small business owners in Arizona just one day prior.

Dog whistle:
Who's the Boss?  Kamala Harris Speaks About a "Harris Administration" in Virtual Arizona Speech.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) made the one gaffe a vice presidential nominee should never make when she spoke of a "Harris administration" in a virtual campaign speech Saturday [9/12/2020].  In normal times this would be seen as a harmless gaffe to have a laugh over.  However, with running mate Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden's mental condition perceived by observers to have deteriorated this year, such a statement can be seen not as a blunder but as a slip of the mask revealing who would be actually be calling the shots in a Biden-Harris administration.  Harris immediately cleaned up the gaffe.

As Plugs Hides from COVID, Kamala Preps for "Harris Administration".  [Scroll down]  She literally said nothing in two minutes and 40 seconds.  It was just a bunch of words strung together that are designed to sound impressive, but they added up to nothing other than the supposed faux pas, "The Harris administration together with Joe Biden."  So we need to unpack that.  She clearly believes or has been told that she's gonna be president sooner rather than later if the Biden ticket wins.  And I bet you she's also been told other things, like you may be president, but you're really not gonna be.  Whoever it is running and orchestrating the Biden campaign will continue to be president.  You're just gonna take over as the placeholder.  But she may not.  She probably has agreed to that now, but when it happens, if it happens, if she actually ever became president because Biden quits or whatever, she's not going to let these guys tell her what she can and can't.  It's not gonna be pretty.

Kamala speaks of 'a Harris administration together with Joe Biden'.  Was this a slip of the lip or a forthright acknowledgment of reality?  My guess is that her ego got the better of Senator Harris, who, after all, is used to assuming power through questionable exploitation of older men.  It must be a classic "Kinsley gaffe," a politician accidentally telling the truth, since nobody would ever describe Kamala Harris as "forthright."  Whatever the underlying psychology, during a "virtual address" (i.e., a video call like Zoom) to a group of Hispanic small business-owners in Arizona on Saturday, the junior senator from California spoke of "a Harris administration together with Joe Biden."

Kamala Harris accidentally touts plans under a 'Harris administration' during virtual roundtable.  Kamala Harris, Joe Biden's running mate in the 2020 election, raised eyebrows on Monday evening after she accidentally touted economic plans under a "Harris administration."  Speaking during a virtual roundtable with small business owners in Arizona, Harris vowed that they will have an ally in the White House with the campaign's "Build Back Better" initiative.  However, the California senator appeared to briefly suggest that she was at the top of the Democratic ticket.  "A Harris administration, together with Joe Biden as the president of the United States," she said.  She quickly clarified, "The Biden-Harris administration will provide access to $100 billion in low-interest loans and investments from minority business owners."

Scott Walker To Kamala:  You Visited Jacob Blake.  How About Visiting Ambushed L.A. Deputies In Your Own State.  On Sunday morning, former GOP Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, taking note of the two Los Angeles County deputies who were shot in the head in a cold-blooded ambush as they sat in their patrol car Saturday night, threw down the gauntlet to Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who is a senator from California.  Walker wrote, referencing Harris' visit to Jacob Blake, who was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, "Will @kamalaharris visit deputies who were shot (31-year-old mom & 24 year-old) in her state?  She visited someone in WI who was charged with felony 3rd-degree sexual assault and said she was proud of him.  She and @JoeBiden need to side with law enforcement and denounce radicals."

Kamala Harris and AOC craft crazy climate law.  Kamala Harris did not mention climate change in her acceptance speech, but she did not have to.  She talked a lot about justice and justice is now code for climate.  Thanks to Harris and AOC, the strange beast of "climate justice" is now a big part of the Democrat's agenda.  In fact the team of Harris and AOC has now codified the concept of climate justice.  Just before the convention they jointly dropped the Climate Equity Act into the Senate and House hoppers.  The Equity Act does not mean that everyone gets their fair share of climate.  The stated goal is for the Federal Government to adjust its investments and regulations to favor those who are supposedly most involved with climate change, or something like that.

What New Deal? Kamala Harris Lands in Giant Private Jet, Walks Straight to Giant SUV Motorcade.  Vice Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris raised eyebrows among some of her climate change supporters on social media Thursday [9/10/2020] after arriving in Miami in a private jet and being escorted into her SUV motorcade.  "From a fossil fuel guzzling private plane to a fossil fuel guzzling SUV.  Democrats don't think the rules they want for everybody else should apply to them!" responded the Trump campaign.

Who's the Real Joe Biden?  Is there any such thing as "the real Joe Biden" in the sense of an actual, breathing human being with enduring loyalties and principles?  His long political record and recent behavior provide some idea.  The choice of Kamala Harris as running mate is one indication.  Harris has often been described as a "politician on the make," someone who will do whatever is expedient.  Writing for RealClearPolitics, Debra Saunders calls Harris a "progressive opportunist."  Yves Smith, looking through her less than progressive record as California prosecutor, would alter that to "opportunist to the core."  Three months ago, Harris almost knocked Biden out of the primaries with her cunning debate performance — now who cares if he opposed bussing?  She gave every indication of thinking Biden was unfit for the presidency — now she thinks he's perfectly fit.  What she seems to care about is being one heartbeat away from the presidency — with a president who might be in very poor health.

Kamala Harris's embrace of Jacob Blake is the latest blow to #MeToo.  It's been quite a week for Kamala Harris.  In addition to promulgating anti-vaccination conspiracy theories about any coronavirus vaccine released during the Trump presidency, she met with the family of Jacob Blake, a man famous for fleeing from the police with his children in tow when he violated an existing restraining order after being charged with sexual assault.  Blake has been famously lionized by the Left after being shot by the police when officers tried to arrest him as he reached in his car (telling them after the shooting that he had a knife, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel).  Unlike the deaths of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, both of whom did not pose a semblance of deadly threats to officers and were preventable, it's unclear if any feasible policy change would have prevented Blake's shooting.  After all, Blake subverted multiple nonlethal attempts to subdue him, and by all available evidence, the police in question only resorted to shooting him when the officers had reasonable suspicion that he was reaching for a knife.

Megyn Kelly Hammers Kamala Harris for Her Visit to Indicted Sex Offender Jacob Blake.  On Sunday, Democrat Vice President-nominee Kamala Harris visited Kenosha, WI, to hold court at the bedside of Jacob Blake.  Blake, if you recall, is the man shot in the back seven times by Kenosha police. [...] Two things are notable from this visit, other than the mere cravenness.  Harris is attempting to rehabilitate Blake as some helpless, faultless victim of police brutality rather than taking the honorable course here and admitting that Blake worked very, very hard to get shot.  There is a case to be made that some police officers in some jurisdictions act with unjustifiable force on some occasions.  Blake is simply not the example you want to use if you are trying to make that case.  The second notable point is she never visited with the woman who Blake sexually assaulted, whose home he invaded, and whose car he tried to take.  Megyn Kelly was having none of it.

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris need to quit playing politics with COVID-19 vaccine.  Are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris trying to prolong the pandemic?  That might be the result of their reckless efforts to erode confidence in a vaccine — even as they blame President Trump for doing that.  "I would want to see what the scientists said" about any vaccine, Biden huffed Monday.  "I want full transparency." That is:  Don't trust a vaccine OK'd by Team Trump.  Harris was even more blunt:  She'd "trust the word of public-health experts" but not the president — and insisted those experts won't have the final say:  They "will be muzzled, they will be suppressed, they will be sidelined."  What an appalling insult to the integrity of Dr. Tony Fauci and others.

Kamala Harris Doesn't Take Questions At Milwaukee Event Billed As "Roundtable Discussion".  At the end of a campaign event billed as a "roundtable discussion" with union workers and black business owners in Milwaukee on Monday, Democratic vice-presidential candidate Kamala Harris simply walked away, saying "I think we're all done here," when a co-host passed her the mic and called for questions.  The Biden campaign's refusal to hold press conferences or even answer questions outside of formal interviews is one of several new lines of attack the Trump campaign has deployed this month.  "I once lived in Wisconsin, it is part of my story," Harris told the audience as she walked away.

Kamala Harris Told Jacob Blake, Facing Sexual Assault Charge, She Was 'Proud' of Him:  Crump.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) told Jacob Blake Jr. on Monday that she is "proud of him and how he is working through his pain," according to attorney Benjamin Crump, who represents the Blake family.  Blake was shot seven times from behind in a confrontation with Kenosha, Wisconsin, police on Aug. 23. He was wounded and paralyzed from the waist down.  The incident sparked local riots, and Blake became the latest victim to be championed by the Black Lives Matter movement.  At the time of the confrontation, there was a warrant for Blake's arrest for "third-degree sexual assault, trespassing and disorderly conduct," according to the Associated Press.

Kamala Harris:  Mask Mandate Not About "Big Brother," It Is Making A "Sacrifice For The Collective".  Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris strongly rebuked President Donald Trump for politicizing the issue of wearing a pandemic mask during an interview Sunday with CNN's Dana Bash.  Harris, minutes earlier in the same interview, said she would be skeptical of a coronavirus vaccine distributed by the Trump administration but said a big part of the problem with pandemic response "is that we have a president of the United States who made this a partisan issue and made it a political issue."  "This is not about punishment.  It's not about big brother," Harris said about wearing a mask.

Harris Flip-Flops:  Never Mind My "False Choice" Claim Last Year, Let's Not Ban Fracking After All.  Alternate headline:  Candidate checks electoral map, discovers why Pennsylvania's called the Keystone State.  At least Kamala Harris didn't try to pretend that this was her position all along, as Joe Biden has for the last few weeks, but that doesn't make this flip-flop much less crass.  CNN's Dana Bash sets this up as comfortably as possible for Harris, who now calls a fracking ban a "false choice" — even though Harris demanded one while campaigning last year.

Sometimes, Kamala Harris is one seriously dumb bunny.  People with ties to San Francisco have long known that Kamala Harris is ambitious, but not too bright.  Her success over the years came about because she latched onto then-Mayor Willie Brown, even though Kamala was 30 years younger than the still-married Brown.  Love him or hate him, Brown is one of the smartest people in politics and, even after the two ended their relationship, he regularly advised Kamala as she climbed up the California political ladder.  It's tough to believe, though, that Kamala spoke to Brown before she jumped with both feet into the Jacob Blake matter.  If they had spoken, I'm reasonably sure that Brown would have told her that a person with her political prominence should never give an opinion about a famous or, worse, politically-charged criminal trial.  Doing so provides an opening for defense counsel to claim that it is impossible to find neutral jurors, forcing a mistrial or even dismissal — that's good for the police (whom I support) but is not the outcome Harris wants.  But Harris may be too big (at least in her mind) to get advice from Willie Brown anymore.  That's the only explanation for why she did this in a CNN interview: [...]

50+ Questions No Reporter Dares Ask Joe Biden And His Campaign.  On Kamala Harris:  VP pick Kamala Harris said she believed the women who accused you of sexual assault, but Biden denied their allegations.  Has Harris changed her position on supporting potential victims of sexual assault?  Why is Harris bailing out rioters, including those who are suspected of shooting at police, murdering a friend, and a convicted sex offender?

Trump Camp Unveils Hard-Hitting Ads Showing Kamala Harris Laughing as America Burns.  The Trump campaign is doing an excellent job linking Biden and Harris to the BLM-Antifa rioters.  Joe Biden called the rioters "mostly peaceful" and Kamala Harris helped bail rioters out of jail.  [Video clip]  Another ad showed Kamala Harris cackling as violent BLM-Antifa rioters burned businesses to the ground.  [Video clip]

Kamala Harris says she wouldn't trust Trump on safety of Covid vaccine before election.  Kamala Harris said that she would not trust Donald Trump's word on the safety of any coronavirus vaccine approved for use in America before the November election.  In an interview with CNN — excerpts of which were released on Saturday — the Democratic vice-presidential nominee warned of the potential for political interference by the US president over the approval of a coronavirus vaccine in order to boost his re-election chances.

The Editor says...
Ms. Harris appears to be accusing President Trump of willingness to approve untested and unsafe vaccines for his own political gain, which is something a Democrat might do, but not Trump.  The power-hungry Democrats are those who push for mandatory vaccinations.

Never forget Kamala Harris' cruel lies in the Kavanaugh confirmation fight.  When Joe Biden announced that Sen. Kamala Harris would be his running mate, The New York Times called her a "pragmatic moderate."  In fact, she's not at all moderate and is "pragmatic" only in the sense that cynics sometimes ascribe to shameless opportunists.  Considering that Biden, while chairing the Senate Judiciary Committee during the Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas hearings, helped pioneer the transformation of Supreme Court nominations into hyper-politicized, slander-laden circuses, his running mate's actual record should come as no surprise.  Harris was a ringleader in the circus surrounding Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination two years ago.  Remember that?  She may prefer you forget.

The Democrat Lurch Back to the Primitive.  [Scroll down]  Compare the presidential tickets for 2020: Biden is an old New Deal era carthorse; a Budweiser Clydesdale that ought to be spending his last years sniffing the grass in a nice clovered paddock.  Harris is a total fake: the privileged daughter of two Berkeley academics masquerading as an oppressed First Woman of Color.  Are the Democrats dumb or something?

Instead Of Fighting Poverty, Kamala Harris Waged War On The Poor.  Catholic News Agency recently quoted several prominent Catholics who were positive about Joe Biden's vice-presidential selection of Kamala Harris.  Donna Toliver Grimes, for example, who serves as the assistant director for African American Affairs in the Secretariat of Cultural Diversity at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, expressed her belief that a Biden-Harris ticket would have a "policy that is favorable to people on the margins."  That's a curious comment, because Harris has spent considerable professional energy oppressing the poor and marginalized.  Before we examine that claim, let's take a step back and revisit the social teachings of the Catholic Church as they relate to the legal status of the poor.

Meet The Rioting Criminals Kamala Harris Helped Bail Out Of Jail.  Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have a problem.  They know it, the media knows it, everyone knows it.  For three months they have ignored the deadly rioting that spread across the nation's cities on both coasts and in between.  They insisted that what we were seeing was "mostly peaceful" protests and that Donald Trump and his evil allies were defaming decent Americans who just want social justice.  Now they want to denounce these riots, but there is a problem:  Harris is a financial supporter of the rioters she now claims to denounce.

Without Voter Fraud Operations, You Would Have Never Heard of Kamala Harris.  For the past several weeks, Democrats have been pounding on the drum of claiming that President Trump was enacting some horrible policies that were going to destroy election integrity across the country.  As the Wuhan Virus continues to wreak havoc across the world, numerous state and county officials have moved all voters to mail ballot to encourage voter engagement.  Dems however, see this as an opportunity to engage in ballot harvesting operations across the country. [...] In my more than a decade working on political campaigns, I witnessed voter fraud operations by the dozens.  One of the elections in which I was involved was the 2010 race for Attorney General in the State of California.  The race came down to two big city powerhouse District Attorneys, Steve Cooley from Los Angeles County and the at-the-time-little-known Kamala Harris of San Francisco.  In the weeks leading up to the race, stories began to circulate about mail ballot operations being conducted throughout the state by forces loyal to Harris' team.

Kamala Harris — It Couldn't Be Worse.  I am an Indian American who made this country home for the past 20+ years, and I believe that Kamala Harris is an opportunist and a hypocrite, just another pawn running on the agenda of Marxist socialism and Islamism.  She represents a political party that has been radicalized and taken over by anarchists with an anti-American agenda.

Kamala Harris' Father Is Foreign-Born 'Radical Marxist' Professor Recruited To Stanford After Worldwide Search.  The Democrat Party and mainstream media are trying to convince Americans that Sen. Kamala Harris' represents a safe and "moderate" choice on the ballot for vice president.  But just how "moderate" is the daughter of Prof. Donald Harris, the foreign-born Marxist professor at Stanford University who dedicated his career to promoting radical economics to American undergraduate students?  Despite paying a warm tribute to her family at the Democratic Convention as she accepted the vice-presidential nomination, Sen. Kamala Harris skipped past any discussion of her father, Donald Harris, a Jamaican-born professor of economics at Stanford University.  Perhaps this is because Don Harris is a renowned Marxist who was recruited after a "six-month 'round-the-world' search for the most qualified Marxist professor available", according to a Stanford Daily article at the time.

When Will Sen. Kamala Harris Condemn The Attack On Her Colleague Rand Paul?  Now that the GOP convention is over, we can take a deep breath and relax to catch our collective breath in the anticipation of sprinting to the finish line with the election only 67 days away.  Unless, of course, you are a recognizable political figure in ANY American city with a roaming BLM mob just lurking around being peaceful waiting to go not so peaceful.  My colleague Jennifer Van Laar covered the video earlier today of Sen. Rand Paul and his wife literally being surrounded by a mob threatening them and the D.C. police protecting them with their bodies.  [Link to video clip]  The video above clearly shows that a recognizable elected official and his spouse were put in danger by people who are radicals and obviously supporters of Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris.

Kamala Harris promises national mask mandate if elected.  Kamala Harris said on Friday [8/28/2020] that a nationwide mask mandate would be among the first orders of business if she and Joe Biden were elected to the White House in November, calling it the "responsible" thing to do.  The Democratic vice presidential nominee expanded on the three-month plan that Biden has promised to enact if he won the White House, explaining that every American would be expected to wear a face covering amid the pandemic.  "Yes," Harris, 55, said when asked if that would be one of their first actions in power during an interview on NBC's "Today."  "It's a standard.  I mean, nobody's going to be punished," Harris continued when asked how it would be enforced.

The Editor says...
You might wonder, what's the point of a mandate if it's not enforced?  Such a "mandate" would be an excuse for low-level Democrat tyrants to perpetuate and enforce their own mask ordinances, with or without public hearings or referenda.    "It's a standard" means it's a way to tell the compliant from the non-compliant — the obedient from the disobedient.  The masks are all about conformity, not disease.

Kamala Harris Speaks on Biden's Behalf in Cringeworthy Speech — Then Flees Podium and Refuses to Answer Questions From Reporters.  Is Kamala Harris the new Democrat presidential nominee?  Since Joe Biden is too feeble to travel and campaign, he deployed his running mate Kamala Harris to DC to counter Trump's RNC speech.  Kamala Harris spoke on Biden's behalf on Thursday in a speech designed as a prebuttal to Trump's GOP convention speech while Biden relaxed in his $2.7 million Delaware beach house.  Harris attacked President Trump's handling of the Coronavirus in her cringeworthy speech.

Kamala Harris, Not Feeble Basement-Dwelling Joe Biden, Will Travel to DC to Deliver Counter to President Trump's Convention Speech.  Kamala Harris, not basement-dwelling Joe Biden will travel to DC to deliver a counter to President Trump's convention speech on Thursday [8/27/2020].  77-year-old (almost 78) Joe Biden is too feeble to travel and campaign.  Biden rarely leaves his Delaware basement and when he does, he stays close to home so he can shuffle back to his bunker for a nap.  Now he's deploying his running mate as the main event to counter President Trump's convention speech.

Democrats Push Charges of Racism for Purposes of Convenience.  In June 2019, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., tore into former Vice President Joe Biden in a Democratic primary debate.  She openly suggested that he was a racist whose past political activity would have kept a "little girl" like her from attending integrated public school.  About a year later, Biden selected Harris for his vice presidential candidate.  It followed naturally that some intrepid reporter might ask Harris about why she had joined forces with such a historic bigot.  So far, Harris has been asked that question twice.  Stephen Colbert asked, obviously assuming that she had prepared an answer.  She hadn't.  Instead, Harris broke into her now-famous Awkward Joker Cackle, saying with a laugh, "It was a debate!"  Colbert quickly tried to laugh with her to alleviate the extraordinary tension — and to back away from the unforced revelation that Harris is simply a political hack willing to leverage charges of racism for career gain.

Americans React To Kamala Harris's Call For Post-20 Week Abortions With Pictures Of Their 20-Week-Olds.  People are sharing photos of their children at 20 weeks gestation after a tweet from Sen. Kamala Harris in 2018 resurfaced, in which she advocated against a ban on abortions past 20 weeks. [...] Harris is a longtime pro-abortion activist with a long congressional record supporting the movement.  She voted against the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act and was a co-sponsor of the Women's Health Protection Act, which allows abortions without bans.  Harris has also notably called for Congress to pass a law affirming the Roe v. Wade ruling in 1973.  Harris even received an informal endorsement from Planned Parenthood Action on Twitter.  She also has a 100 percent rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America, a pro-abortion activism group.

The Truth of Kamala Harris.  Living in California, I have seen first hand what damage has been done to our State and the dishonesty of [Kamala] Harris in the ability that she possesses in the advancement of her goals.  Two points that are being pushed on the American people by both the Progressive socialists and the media is that 1. Harris was disadvantaged in her childhood and 2. That she is a black woman.  I have known for a long time that Harris will say whatever she needs to to get head and has lied consistently in her approach.  She is using talking points in an attempt to play the victim for the American people.  In an attempt to gather the black vote so badly needed by the progressive socialist Democrats who they can no longer depend on, she claims to be African American when she has absolutely no connection to African Americans.  She is Jamaican and Indian.  She never mention that her father is descended from a sugar planter in Jamaica named Hamilton Brown who was a slave owner.  Black voters in this election cycle are disgusted at the race baiting of Harris and the cynicism of the leftists that take the black vote for granted.

Trump attacks Harris on fracking:  Can it swing Pa. and Ohio?  Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's vice presidential choice of Sen. Kamala Harris — who has vowed to take the fossil fuel industry to court over climate change and grounded her own run for the presidency on environmental justice — put energy squarely at the center of the presidential election yesterday [8/11/2020].  Harris, one of the first senators to back the sweeping Green New Deal, quickly found her energy record under assault from President Trump, who criticized the California Democrat from the lectern at the White House.  "She is against fracking; she is against petroleum products," said Trump, who last week warned a crowd in Ohio that the "radical left-wing movement" wants to "ban fracking, which will demolish your state." [...] Harris told a CNN town hall in September 2019 that there was "no question" that she favored banning fracking, "starting with what we can do on day one around public lands."

Kushner: Kamala Harris refused to help with landmark, pro-African-American criminal justice reform.  California Sen. Kamala Harris refused to help craft an overwhelmingly bipartisan bill to reform criminal justice laws, a bill signed into law by President Trump in 2018, White House adviser Jared Kushner revealed Friday [8/21/2020].  In what was meant to be an interview about the historic Israeli-United Arab Emirates peace agreement, CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour instead echoed accusations from Democrats and some in the media that President Trump supported racist birtherism claims against Harris, the presumptive Democratic vice presidential nominee.  In particular, Amanpour claimed that Trump supported a claim by an attorney in a Newsweek essay that, under the 14th Amendment, Harris wasn't eligible to run for the vice presidency based on the circumstances of her U.S. birth.  In response, Kushner said black Americans had achieved record low unemployment during the Trump administration prior to the coronavirus economic contraction.

Final Day of the Democrat Pros and Cons — As PR Pros Combine to Con America.  The reason that so many Americans do not want Kamala Harris has nothing to do with her name or where her parents were born.  Rather, it is because, first of all, she got her opportunity to advance geometrically in politics by cavorting in a manner that is reprehensible.  Her dalliance was open.  It was brazen.  It was with a married man, 31 years her senior who was her state's Democrat Kingmaker.  Once Harris predictably then got from the Kingmaker her good-paying political patronage jobs and gained the opportunities to advance politically up the Democrat ladder, the coveted introductions to the power players in the state's Democrat machine — opportunities that others who would not publicly compromise themselves that way do not typically get — she was on her way in a one-party Democrat state.  That is how her big rise in Democrat politics began.  It was public.

Kamala Harris Won't Motivate Minority Voters.  The Biden campaign is desperate to increase enthusiasm among the minority voters whose support for his candidacy remains so tepid that it threatens his already shrinking chances of winning in November.  The Biden campaign clearly believes that putting a woman of color on the Democratic presidential ticket will convince this portion of the electorate to ignore his well-documented opposition to desegregation and long history of hobnobbing with white supremacists.  The Harris nomination confirms that Biden believes minority voters are idiots.

Kamala Harris: 'Women Have Been Given the Responsibility to Perpetuate the Human Species'.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D.-Calif.), the Democratic vice presidential nominee, said in a Democratic presidential primary debate on Oct. 15, 2019 that "women have been given the responsibility to perpetuate the human species."  Harris was explaining her views about abortion and why, were she president, she would aggressively use federal power to go after state[s] that were placing restrictions on abortion.

Harris Drops Her Mask.  [Scroll down]  While protesting the "loss of normalcy" and the failure of remote learning, Harris will do nothing to oppose the teachers' unions that resist opening classrooms.  She notes the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on blacks, Hispanics, and "indigenous peoples" but blames it on "structural racism," and therefore highlights a need to recreate society on socialist terms.  Moreover, the real virus here, Harris claims, is racism.  She implies that measures on par with required "masking" could apply to dealing with racism, just as she and Biden called for a mask mandate.  If racism is a "public health crisis" we should know her view of the limits on policies to restrain or eliminate it.  Are there any?  Such a totalitarian mentality comes easily to postmodern socialists.  They begin by declaring "we are united by the fundamental belief that every human being is of infinite worth, deserving of compassion, dignity and respect" and end up assailing someone like Justice Kavanaugh on fantastic charges while also ignoring the victims of "righteous" riots.

Kamala Harris — Planned Parenthood's Choice.  David Daleiden heads the Center for Medical Progress, the group that unveiled what really goes on behind the curtain at Planned Parenthood, exposing the ghoulishness of the organization that profits off the destruction of human life and detailing past and future atrocities perpetrated by that organization in a series of revealing and damning videos.  Daleiden's pro-life investigative reporting did not sit well with then California Attorney General Kamala Harris, who made it her mission to cancel Daleiden and his group, raiding his house, seizing his videos, video equipment, and notes, all with the purpose of ending his livelihood, his career, and his freedom.  She prosecuted Daleiden under an obscure, rarely used, and arguably unconstitutional state law.

Kamala's Lies.  [Scroll down]  Harris heavily criticized President Donald Trump's handling of the coronavirus, blaming him for the death toll, the economic contraction, the high unemployment rate, the closure of schools, homelessness, hunger, and poverty.  "The case against Donald Trump and Mike Pence is open and shut.  Just look where they've gotten us, more than 16 million out of work, millions of kids who cannot go back to school, a crisis of poverty, of homelessness afflicting black, brown, and indigenous people the most, a crisis of hunger afflicting one in five mothers who have children that are hungry and tragically, more than 165,000 lives that have been cut short, many with loved ones who never got the chance to say goodbye."  Aside from the fact that Trump has been a huge advocate for the reopening of schools, Harris did not mention that seven of the top ten states with the most COVID deaths are run by Democrats, including New York, which has more deaths than Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Arizona combined.

The Editor says...
"Just look where they've gotten us" is a bit disingenuous, don't you think?  The Communist Chinese brought us the Covid virus, the Democrat governors used the virus as an excuse for draconian lockdowns and mask mandates without any notice or public hearings; the kids can go back to school as soon as the teachers' unions quit blocking the door; the homeless bums defecating in the streets aren't Republicans; poverty is perpetuated by handouts which in turn are perpetuated by Democrats; and most of the mothers with hungry children are not married, again because of welfare programs.  Not to mention this year's rioting and looting, abortion on demand, BLM shakedowns, male athletes pretending to be women, kneeling during the National Anthem, voter fraud, dishonest journalism, sanctuary cities, or the failed attempt to impeach President Trump without any evidence of wrongdoing.  Yes, look where they — the Democrats — have gotten us.

Why It Should Matter that Kamala Harris Is Not a Natural Born Citizen.  [Scroll down]  Being a natural born citizen has nothing to do with where you are born but strictly to whom you are born — as long as it's to American citizens.  This is the media's and the Democrat Party's great lie going on twelve years now.  There are many ways to become a U.S. citizen, but if you are to seek the office of the president (or the vice president), you must be a child born of American parents.  And it was so blindingly obvious and repetitive that children of citizens of the United States shall be considered natural born citizens irrespective of where they are born that Congress removed the wording during the replacement Naturalization Act of 1795. [...] And now, when the political foot is well on the other side of the aisle, now any challenge is considered a "distraction." What we see is that when there is an obvious case of ineligibility and the media's chosen candidate is a Democrat, such as Barack Obama (father was a British subject, a Kenyan national, on a student visa and was never a naturalized citizen) or Kamala Harris (mother and father both born abroad; one naturalized citizen at the time of birth), the media freak out, attack, and smear Republicans.  Instead of acknowledging they are not natural born citizens or seeking to resolve the issue in a court of law, they choose to circumvent the U.S. Constitution.

Conflict Between Kamala Harris and Joe Biden Is Inevitable.  Vice presidents are usually politicians who got pretty far on their own, and they're human beings; to constantly subordinate oneself to one's boss requires exceptional discipline and self-effacement, something at which politicians don't excel.  Even Biden himself, whom Barack Obama selected under the misimpression that he was finished with running for president, stepped out of line, getting ahead of Obama in calling for legalizing gay marriage during an appearance on a Sunday television talk show.  (The two men had been discussing the matter.)  Obama was not amused, but their relationship survived about as intact as any such partnership has.  There's circumstantial evidence that Biden had hesitations about picking Harris, mainly because of her obvious desire to be president.

Kamala Harris Promises That Joe Biden Will 'End This Pandemic'.  Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) vowed that her running mate Joe Biden "will bring us together to end" the coronavirus pandemic.  "Joe will bring us together to end this pandemic and make sure that we are prepared for the next one," Harris said during her VP acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) on Wednesday night [8/19/2020].  Harris and other DNC speakers criticized President Donald Trump for the pandemic.  "Donald Trump's failure of leadership has cost lives and livelihoods," she said.  Harris' promise that Biden will end the coronavirus pandemic is not the first disease the Biden campaign has vowed to cure.  Former Vice President Biden vowed to cure cancer during a campaign stop in June 2019.

Kamala Harris would rather talk platitudes than divulge her agenda.  In accepting the Democratic vice presidential nomination, Sen. Kamala Harris relied heavily on platitudes.  That's because Democrats are not eager to highlight their radical agenda.  As is typically the case in vice presidential acceptance speeches, Harris was heavy on biography early on, understandably trying to introduce herself to a national audience that may not be as familiar with her background.  But as the speech veered into a few minutes of what was supposed to be substance, it fell flat.  And it wasn't just because it was delivered from a lectern in Wilmington, Delaware, before a few people spread apart on a set meant to look like a shrunken convention floor.

Kamala Harris chooses 'Pioneer' as her Secret Service code name.  Presumptive vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris has chosen "Pioneer" as her Secret Service code name, according to a report.  Harris chose the moniker, reported by CNN, shortly after being placed under Secret Service protection last week, when she was tapped as presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden's running mate.  The California senator's code name choice appears to be a nod to the historic nature of her nomination, being the first female of color vice presidential nominee.

The Editor says...
When I'm the President, I want my Secret Service code name to be "Hydroxychloroquine."

The Dems Are the Dogs in Trump's Dog-Whistle Politics.  It's no secret that Donald Trump is delighted about Joe Biden's candidacy and the selection of Kamala Harris as running mate.  Biden is so obviously undergoing a cognitive decline it seems almost unfair to criticize him for his failure to function adequately, but this is a presidential election, not a memory cafe.  And Harris is so obviously not disadvantaged in any way as a result of being nonwhite or a woman that any attempt on her part to play the victim card is easily debunked.  And whilst she's obviously been chosen to harvest the black vote, her ancestry is not African-American and therefore she cannot claim any direct connection with those African-Americans whose ancestors were once slaves (her father claims to be descended from Hamilton Brown, an Irish-born sugar-planter).  Expect a lot of race-baiting from Harris in the weeks to come.  The proper response to this is disgust at the cynicism involved.

Queen Kamala's Imperial Aspirations.  Kamala Harris does not want to be the president of the United States.  She wants to be the queen of the post-constitutional remnants of what used to be the United States.  On first reading, this might seem like a hysterical and overblown claim, but it's actually quite easy to support.  All one has to do is read the description of the president's duties in Article II of the Constitution and compare it with anything and everything Harris has ever said she would do if she found herself occupying the post; the two simply do not match up.  In fact, judging by her own words and deeds, she would be much more suited to life as a 17th-century European monarch.  Her real ideological allies are neither Bernie bros nor Biden boosters.  They're the Stuart kings of England — that loathsome dynasty that ruled over the Western-most isles of the Old World during the 1600s.  Harris's utter disdain for legislative checks on executive power and her autocratic disposition toward the machinery of the state make her and these long-dead white men birds of a feather when it comes to statecraft.

California's Blackouts Display The Results Of Kamala Harris's Favored Energy Policy.  Biden's past energy policies were fairly standard fare for old-school Democrats:  massive government spending and regulations to pick winners and losers — the $535 million Solyndra collapse is illustrative.  His current plan is more of the same, spending $2 trillion, some of which will go to buy the silent acceptance of Big Oil.  By comparison, Harris' policies are a radical departure, and, as can be seen in California, fail when confronted with the real world.  Harris partnered with New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on the multi-trillion-dollar Green New Deal, an energy plan so ambitious it envisioned a continental network of government-run high-speed trains while grounding America's commercial air fleet.  Likewise, California's high-speed rail project has been cut back from the 380-mile San Francisco to Los Angeles route to a 140-mile Bakersfield to Merced run that few will ever ride, as the costs of the project tripled from $33.6 billion to $98.1 billion.  The train would run on electricity — if it were available.

Mark Levin Blasts Harris' Extreme Record:  Most Anti-American Ever Stated.  Since California Senator Kamala Harris was announced as Democrat Joe Biden's vice presidential running mate last week, the pair's leftist allies in the media have completely ignored her record and given glowing reviews of the decision.  But while the majority of media figures choose to bury or rewrite Harris' record, her extremism still exists and deserves serious scrutiny.  During his Sunday night broadcast on Fox News, conservative radio host and attorney Mark Levin went through her record, exposing it as much more radical than the headlines reveal.  "She is farther left than 97 percent of Democrats in the United States Senate.  She is left of avowed Marxist, Democrat socialist Bernie Sanders.  She's not moderate, she's not a pragmatist like the New York Times and others are trying to tell you," Levin said.

Kamala Harris has the right skin color for Joe Biden ... and nothing else.  Joe Biden selected a running mate based on the color of her skin.  He rejected other candidates based on the color of their skin.  He did this openly and without apology.  Think about that for a moment.  Let that sink in.  In the year 2020, more than six decades after America desegregated public schools, a nominee for president from a major political party brazenly displayed outright racism in picking a running mate.  It is a mockery of everything Martin Luther King fought for.  A perversion of the entire civil rights movement. [...] But the former vice president is from a different era.  Apparently, evaluating people by their skin color is perfectly acceptable to him.  It is even celebrated.  Mr. Biden was lauded and applauded by Democrats, which perhaps should not be a surprise given the party's long, sordid history of outward racism.

Think of Biden/Harris as Dickensian Caricatures.  Now that we see the Democrats' presidential ticket for 2020 in full, we can see how underwhelming it is.  To me, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are political caricatures, gargoyles, in the grand old tradition of Charles Dickens.  It is fashionable for the cognoscenti to sneer at the improbability of the Dickensians, the arch-hypocrite Mr. Pecksniff, arch-slimeball Uriah Heep, and the alcoholic nurse Mrs. Gamp, but who could have predicted the arch-shallowness of bully Joe Biden, a New Deal liberal in an age of wokies?  Or nasty Kamala Harris, the First Black Woman child of not-very-black Berkeley academics that's supposed to embody all that is good and woke, but who is little more than the old-fashioned girl that slept her way to the top?  Only in her case it wasn't the old-fashioned millionaire of the song, but an old-fashioned political boss with the power to propel her into the United States Senate.

Kamala Harris not having much effect on voters after being picked for VP, poll shows.  An overwhelming majority of Americans say having Sen. Kamala Harris on the Democratic presidential ticket won't make a difference in how they vote, a poll released Monday [8/17/2020] said.  Seventy-one percent of respondents said the California lawmaker won't impact their choice, while 17 percent said her appearance makes them more likely to vote for the Democratic ticket and 10 percent said it makes them less likely to vote for the Democrats, according to an ABC News/Washington Post poll.

Two Problems Emerging for Biden/Harris Ticket.  As the sheen, luster, and glow fades off the announcement of Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) as Joe Biden's running mate, I see two problems emerging for the Democrat ticket.  One, it's becoming painfully obvious that Senator Harris is a political chameleon who will say and do whatever she needs to say or do in order to secure a political advantage. [...] As the mainstream media assists political chameleon Kamala Harris by portraying her as a moderate to the nation, Californians and criminal justice reformers must be shaking their heads in disbelief at the media's blatant deception.  Activists watched as she stood by and did nothing as the San Francisco District Attorney while defendants were wrongly convicted and sentenced during a tainted crime lab scandal.

Kamala Is Making the Same Mistake Clinton Did.  President Donald Trump is once again up against an opponent who would drag the country down into a socialist hellscape and his most threatening opponent on the opposite team is a list of leftist cliche's soaked in social justice.  I think it's fair to say at this point that Biden is hardly a threat to Trump.  He spends most of the time hidden away by his handlers so as not to embarrass himself and the party any further.  The debates are going to be interesting to watch (if they happen) but not because the two men will have a level debate about policies and viewpoints, but because Biden won't be able to control his temper as he forgets one thing after another.  Kamala Harris is Trump's real obstacle but she's an obstacle in the same way a speed bump is an obstacle to a truck.  It'll slow things down a notch but rest assured, we'll be getting past it.

Schweizer: Kamala Harris Has 'Deeply Troubling' Past with Fundraising.  In a Sunday interview on Fox News Channel's "The Next Revolution," Breitbart News senior contributor and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer discussed Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) as presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's running mate.  Schweizer, author of "Profiles in Corruption:  Abuse of Power by America's Progressive Elite," said he believed Biden selected Harris based on her fundraising ability, but explained she has a "deeply troubling" way of raising money that is related to not prosecuting certain sexual abuse cases involving rich and powerful families and lawyers representing the Catholic schools in the crosshairs of investigations.

Kamala Harris:  Mike Nifong in a Dress.  While the Black Lives Matter movement is a fraud whose principal agendas include "revolution" and an anti-Trump campaign on 501(c)(3) tax-exempt money, the overwhelming majority of Americans support the ostensible causes behind which it hides.  These include opposition to police misconduct, which includes not just excessive force, but also imprisonment of innocent people, many of whom are black.  This makes Kamala Harris exactly what everybody is protesting.  An over-aggressive prosecutor is far more dangerous to society than any but the most violent criminals.  If a thug invades your home to rob, rape, or murder you, you can shoot him, and the law will be on your side when you do it.  A prosecutor can, on the other hand, force you to spend your life savings to defend your freedom and good name and maybe even send you to prison for something you didn't do.

Biden's pick of Kamala Harris may appear historic, but how does she help politically?  Now that the virtual confetti from Joe Biden's selection of a ticket mate has been virtually swept away, what, if anything, special does his pick of Kamala Harris mean?  It is August, after all, a steamy summer month of vacations when the absence of real news can easily distort the judgment of media managers.  Full disclosure:  I once wrote an article about a dog who returned a lost wallet to its owner.  And it got on page one — in August.  "Remember," former Vice President Biden declared some years ago, "no one decides who they're going to vote for based on the vice president.  I mean that literally."

What's to Blame for Trump's Lagging Poll Numbers?  I am looking forward to an explanation of one of the great mysteries of life on earth circa 2020.  The mystery, I mean, of how it can possibly be the case that poor old slow Joe Biden's poll numbers are still exhibiting more of a pulse than he is.  How is it possible?  Furthermore, how is it possible that his campaign was not consumed by contemptuous laughter directly after it was announced that Kamala Harris, the nastiest woman in U.S. politics today, would be his running mate?  Harris's presidential bid went nowhere.  It just collapsed before it even really got started.  No surprise there.  In addition to being seriously unpleasant — just take a look at her disgraceful performance during the Senate confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh — she has signed up for the whole cringe-inducing wackadoodle far-Left agenda, promising to ban fracking, embrace wind power, take your guns, raise your taxes, and destroy the borders of the country (she memorably compared our brave border police to members of the Ku Klux Klan).

Harris, Omar and the party's great march leftward.  [Kamala] Harris hails from California, a progressive, deep-blue state.  As a progressive, wealthy native of northern California, Harris has little ability to mobilize supporters in places like Detroit or Pittsburgh.  Moreover, Harris has not distinguished herself as a great vote-getter.  Last year, when Harris entered the Democratic presidential primaries, she enjoyed enthusiastic support from the media and deep-pocketed progressive donors.  But despite these advantages, she failed to win over significant support for her campaign even in her native state.  Her campaign fizzled out very quickly.  While the progressive media refers to Harris as a "moderate," since her election to the Senate in 2016 Harris has racked up one of the most radical voting records in the upper house.  She supports revoking all limitations on abortions.  She supports harsh limitations on the right to bear arms.  She supports banning oil fracking and ending energy exploration on federal lands.

Why Didn't Kamala Harris Prosecute Abusive Priests?  Perhaps the deepest and most troubling mystery of Kamala Harris's tenure as a prosecutor centers on the disturbing issue of sexual abuse of children by priests," writes Peter Schweizer in Profiles in Corruption.  "During her decade-and-a-half tenure as a chief prosecutor, Harris would fail to prosecute a single case of priest abuse and her office would strangely hide vital records on abuses that had occurred despite the protests of victim groups."  As a senator, Harris has inveighed against those who protect "predators."  So what explains her soft-on-abuse record as district attorney of San Francisco and attorney general of California? [...] Schweizer thinks her hands-off approach was due to the political debts she owed powerful Catholics in the Bay Area for helping her win the district attorney's seat in San Francisco.  Her predecessor and opponent in that race, Vincent Hallinan, had been pursuing abuse cases against the Church.  Catholics afraid of his investigations backed Kamala Harris in the race.

Joe And Kamala's Fact-Mangling Debut.  The new Joe Biden and Kamala Harris Democratic ticket debuted in Delaware on Aug. 12, followed by the typically frantic partisan sugar-sculpting competition on cable "news."  But MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell took the saccharine prize by claiming that there was not a single false utterance in 35 minutes.  The energetic promoters of "independent fact-checkers" — who want "real-time" fact-checking of President Donald Trump — couldn't muster any effort to evaluate this thunderclap of leftist rhetoric echoing in a nearly empty high school gym.  Let's list a few fact-mangling whoppers. [...]

Kamala Harris Is Far Worse Than Hillary Clinton.  Harris's platform is so far to the left of the mainstream that she makes Mrs. Clinton, a hero to the Left for several decades, look moderate.  Clinton, for instance, said that illegal immigrants should be allowed to purchase health insurance on the Obamacare exchanges but without subsidies, which is Joe Biden's position (according to his platform, though Biden himself often seems confused about this when publicly discussing the issue).  Kamala Harris backs a single-payer federal health-care plan and did not equivocate when asked whether illegal immigrants would be covered:  "Let me just be very clear about this.  I am opposed to any policy that would deny in our country any human being from access to public safety, public education or public health, period."  This would mark an end to the distinction between people who are here legally and illegally and would signal to the world's poor that it's time to make their break for the United States.  Harris also compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to the Ku Klux Klan and said we should decriminalize unauthorized border crossings.

A Kamala-led Coup Would Succeed Against Biden.  This should never happen to another president again, this hoax," President Trump repeatedly says, referring to the Russia collusion hoax that very nearly destroyed his presidency.  It's unlikely that there are enough turncoats and Obama holdovers to mount another effort against a reelected President Trump.  But how vulnerable would a new President Biden be to such an effort?  Kamala Harris, former prosecutor of innocent people with different priorities and allies than Joe Biden, is uniquely positioned to lead a reprise of the same playbook used against President Trump.  Only this time, Joe Biden would be far more vulnerable to such an attack.

Joe Biden Alienated Black Voters by Choosing Kamala Harris.  When presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden chose Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as his running mate, he may have known he was alienating conservatives and moderates, but he likely didn't anticipate alienating black voters.  According to a groundbreaking poll from Rasmussen Reports, Biden's VP pick has given black voters second thoughts about supporting the Democratic ticket in November.

31 Minutes of Softballs for Kamala:  No COVID, No Tara Reade in First Interview.  To call the first interview with Kamala Harris as a vice presidential candidate a softball would be an insult to softball interviews.  MSNBC on Friday aired, uninterrupted, new contributor Errin Haines talking to Harris for 31 minutes solid.  This is the same networks that aired just three percent of Donald Trump's campaign kickoff speech.  Haines ignored dealing with COVID as an issue.  She censored any mention of the Democrat previously saying she thought Tara Reade, who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, should be heard.  Instead, Haines gushed, "I'm just wondering about your thoughts about how this moment intersects with your own historic candidacy."  In another question, the journalist lauded, "If you become the first female vice president in the history of this country, what specifically can we expect you to fight for the women of this country?"

MSNBC Interviews Kamala Harris for 31 Minutes.  Never Asks About Andrew Cuomo, Tara Reade.  To call the first interview with Kamala Harris as a vice presidential candidate a softball would be an insult to softball interviews.  MSNBC on Friday aired, uninterrupted, new contributor Errin Haines talking to Harris for 31 minutes solid.  This is the same [network] that aired just three percent of Donald Trump's campaign kickoff speech.  Haines ignored dealing with COVID as an issue.  She censored any mention of the Democrat previously saying she thought Tara Reade, who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, should be heard.  Instead, Haines gushed, "I'm just wondering about your thoughts about how this moment intersects with your own historic candidacy."

Facebook Censors TRUTH That Kamala Harris Identified Herself as Indian-American.  Now that Kamala Harris is claiming to be the Democrat's "black" VP candidate, Facebook is beginning to censor posts stating that Harris used to call herself an "Indian-American."  Candace Owens recently posted to Facebook the fact that Harris had identified as an "Indian-American" in previous campaigns for office.  But now the Democrats are touting her as a black woman.  But Facebook censored her posts claiming that the truth was "factually inaccurate." [...] Of course, Harris is not an "African American" at all.  Her mother is from India and her father is a Hispanic of African descent from Jamaica.  Yet, Facebook is working to cover for the Democrats, once again.

Shaun King 2018: Can't vote for Joe Biden or Kamala Harris because they "helped build and advance mass incarceration".  That was then:  "I'll be frank and tell you two Democrats I'm 99% sure I won't be supporting... Joe Biden & Kamala Harris."  This is now:  I'm thrilled to support Biden-Harris.

Kamala Harris:  America's Least Sincere Person.  Kamala Harris is devoted to the political advancement of Kamala Harris.  (Just ask Willie Brown.)  Beyond that, she has no apparent principles, although she is happy to adopt extreme leftism as the guise of the moment.  During the primary season, she attacked Joe Biden quite effectively, claiming to believe the women who accused him of sexual harassment, and so on.  But, like the rest of Harris's life, it was all a pose.

Obama Speechwriter Mocks Media for Calling Kamala a 'Moderate'.  A former Obama speechwriter — Jon Favreau, who President Obama once called his "mind reader" — says it's "hilarious" to him that news media now refers to former Vice President Joe Biden's running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), as a "moderate" and a "centrist."  "She supports something extremely close to Medicare for all," Favreau noted, pointing out that self-described Democratic Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) even acknowledged her support for the policy in his speech endorsing the Harris-Biden ticket.  "She is for the Green New Deal," Favreau continued, "She has one of the most liberal records in the U.S. Senate."  According to GovTrack, Harris does indeed have one the most liberal records in the U.S. Senate, even more liberal than fellow Sen. Bernie Sanders.  And out of all the Democratic senators, Harris was the least likely to join bipartisan bills.

With Kamala, Angry Socialism Rises From the Dead.  One of Kamala's great literary obsessions is abortion.  She's fascinated by it.  Beyond Saturn and some sinister characters from Roman mythology, it is difficult to find anyone who talks so enthusiastically about killing babies.  As a prosecutor she has tried to make life impossible for several anti-abortion activists, who have often accused her of a conflict of interest due to her relationship with the monstrous multinational Planned Parenthood.  I suspect there is something sad and Freudian about all this.  Kamala, a daughter of divorced parents but who has always lived with her mother, has no children of her own but oversees the two that her husband had with his ex-wife, Kerstin Emhoff.  Planned Parenthood is so happy with Kamala's news that the organization issued a statement congratulating her almost before her appointment was announced.

Graham on Harris: 'No issue' as to whether 'she is an American citizen'.  Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) broke with President Trump on Friday by saying there is no debate over whether Sen. Kamala Harris is a U.S. citizen, remarks that came after the president encouraged a conspiracy theory that the California Democrat may not be eligible to serve as vice president because her parents are immigrants.  In a pair of tweets, Graham, a frequent defender of Trump, said he disagreed with Harris on "plenty of issues," calling her "one of the most liberal members of the U.S. Senate."  But he said there should be no debate over her citizenship status.  "There are plenty of issues to find disagreement with @KamalaHarris regarding her record as Senator or as a Vice Presidential nominee," Graham tweeted.  "She is consistently rated one of the most liberal members of the U.S. Senate, fully embracing a radical Democratic agenda."  "However, there is no issue as to whether or not she is an American citizen," he continued.  "She was born in the United States in 1964 to parents who were legally present.  Under the Constitution and Supreme Court precedent, she is unequivocally an American citizen."

The Editor says...
First of all, Lindsey Graham is a Deep State Uniparty ACORNRINO, whose support of President Trump has been tepid at best.  Aside from that, Ms. Harris's father is Jamaican, and subject to the Monarchy of Jamaica.  Her mother is subject to India.  The 14th Amendment says, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside."  [Italics added.]  At the time of her birth, Ms. Harris was subject to the Monarchy of Jamaica.  We went through all this twelve years ago.*  But in this case, nobody is accusing Ms. Harris of having dual citizenship (for example, in the U.S. and Indonesia) as was the case with Barack H. Obama.

Yes, Kamala Harris Is Indeed a Natural-Born Citizen.  I saw over the weekend that some people argue that Kamala Harris is ineligible to be Vice-President: apparently her parents weren't citizens when she was born, so the argument goes that she is thus not a natural-born citizen.  (Under Article II of the Constitution, only a "natural-born citizen" can be President, and the Twelfth Amendment provides that "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.")  But "natural-born citizen" appears to have been the Framers' adaptation of the familiar English term "natural-born subject" (though with the "subject" of a monarch being changed to the "citizen" of a republic).

Despite Constant Libel of Trump, I Trust the People.  Ms. Harris favors open borders and compared the Immigration and Customs Enforcement service to the Ku Klux Klan.  She favors the entire Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Green Terror, including abolition of fracking and ultimately of fossil fuel consumption and use, and the now customary Democratic hare-brained nonsense about windmills and solar panels.  (At the confirmation hearing for James Mattis as secretary of defense, she asked him how he would combat climate change.)  Ms. Harris favors free full-service public healthcare for everyone, sharply increased taxes, and the confiscation of privately owned firearms — Beto O'Rourke could soon be on every doorstep in America.  Ms. Harris has many critics among the 98% of Democrats who did not support her candidacy for president.

Harris Gets Mixed Reactions from the Left and the Right.  Joe Biden's announcement of Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as his running mate on Tuesday was met with heavily mixed reactions from both sides of the political aisle, as reported by various sources.  On social media, while many figures in the Democratic Party's establishment — from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to former President Barack Obama — lauded Harris's selection, grassroots activists and commentators were not as pleased.  Some on Twitter pointed out Harris's past as a prosecutor in California, first as San Francisco's district attorney then as the state's attorney general, and how she disproportionately targeted minorities with harsh sentences.  Others noted that she had been one of Biden's most vocal critics in the past, even going so far as to say that she believed Tara Reade, the former Senate staffer who has credibly accused Biden of sexual assault.

Why It Should Matter to Women That Kamala Harris Slept Her Way Up.  [Scroll down]  Kamala Harris's story denigrates women who worked hard all their lives, faced cruel gender stereotypes, heard and ignored snickers, encountered and overcame real true misogyny, and yet ultimately achieved great accomplishments.  Kamala Harris instead is a poster child for those extremely few women who despicably chose to take the short-cut up the ladder through frisky behavior with married men 30 years their senior.  That play and strategy did not work out well for Monica Lewinsky, whose name forever will be associated with vice.  Our society's rejection and mockery of Lewinsky to this day, a quarter century later, is the vice precedent that should define Kamala Harris.  Vice precedent, Kamala Harris.

Kamala Harris's fans are inventing new ways to get offended on her behalf.  It has barely been 72 hours since presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden announced Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate, and the Democratic Party's allies in politics and media are already inventing new ways to brand criticism of the California senator as "sexist."  Vanity Fair contributor and Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign flack Jennifer Palmieri, for example, alleged this week during a recent appearance on MSNBC that it is sexist to refer to Harris as a "phony."  But the senator clearly is a phony.  At least, what word would you use to describe a politician who staked out at least four separate positions on "Medicare for all" during the 2020 Democratic primary?

Kamala Has Already Struck Out.  We are not supposed to have noticed (or it's not supposed to make a difference or matter), but Kamala Harris came into politics as a mistress under the patronage of the notoriously unethical speaker of the House in California, Willie Brown.  Numerous public servants in government in California at the time noted that Kamala was a pretty twenty-something young woman that Brown, a married man in his 60s, regularly showed off as his mistress at political events.  She received prestigious, powerful, and profitable political appointments in state government and moved on from there.  Anyone who brings up this opportunism is against her "ambition" and is trying to keep her "in her place."  In short, anyone raising these well documented facts is both misogynistic and racist.  Kamala is known as being "pragmatic, rather than principled."  Some Democrat strategists claim to be happy with Kamala as a "messenger" (meaning she is good TV) but cringe at her inconsistent and problematic "messages" (meaning she is all over the map on any given issue). Harris has flip-flopped on issue after issue, depending on what's politically expedient.

Pro-Life Leaders Slam Biden-Harris Ticket As 'Most Pro-Abortion in History'.  As soon as Joe Biden announced U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) as his vice presidential pick on August 11, prominent pro-life groups immediately characterized the Democratic presidential ticket for 2020 as the most "pro-abortion ticket in American history."  Pro-life organizations like the Susan B. Anthony List, American Life League, and March For Life slammed former Vice President Biden's VP pick as symbolic of his commitment to the pro-abortion lobby and abortion mill Planned Parenthood.  They enumerated reasons including the fact that Kamala Harris supports taxpayer-funded abortion up to birth, and the fact that she has colluded with Planned Parenthood to silence the abortion mill's political enemies.

Kamala Harris reportedly owes $1M in bills from failed presidential run.  Kamala Harris, named Tuesday to be Joe Biden's running mate, still has more than $1 million in unpaid bills left over from her failed 2020 presidential bid, according to a report.  The California senator raised about $39 million for her White House bid in 2019 and spent about $40 million, leaving her campaign with just $116,380 in the bank at the end of June, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday [8/12/2020], citing Federal Election Commission filings.  Harris ended her campaign last December amid falling poll numbers and a lack of fundraising.

Donald Trump REFUSES to shoot down birther claim that Kamala Harris cannot run as VP because her parents are immigrants.  President Donald Trump fanned the flames of yet another 'birther' conspiracy theory by telling White House reporters Thursday that he had 'no idea' if Kamala Harris was eligible to be vice president.  The president added that the Republican lawyer who wrote a Newsweek op-ed pushing that claim 'is a very highly qualified, very talented lawyer.'  Right-wing law professor John C. Eastman wrote an editorial Wednesday that argued that because Harris' parents weren't citizens when she was born in 1964 in Oakland, California then she might not fit the definition of eligibility under the U.S. Constitution.

Harris redefines rioters as a 'coalition of conscience'.  Since the death, at the hands of Minneapolis police, of George Floyd, a black man, there have been riots in hundreds of cities across the U.S.  Largely orchestrated by Black Lives Matter and Antifa, they have included rioters, looters, arsonists, murderers, even cop killers.  Now Kamala Harris, the extreme left senator that Joe Biden has picked as a running mate in his pursuit of the Oval Office in this year's presidential election, calls them a "coalition of conscience."

Harris [is] 'directly responsible for persecution' of undercover pro-life journalists.  Not only is Joe Biden running mate Kamala Harris pro-abortion, she's anti-free speech on the topic, contend the two undercover pro-life journalists targeted by Harris when she was California's attorney general.  David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt of the Center for Medical Progress released more than a dozen videos showing Planned Parenthood executives discussing getting paid for the body parts of unborn children.

'Most Pro-Abortion Presidential Ticket In American History': Pro-Life Groups Condemn Biden VP Kamala Harris.  Pro-life groups condemned 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden's Tuesday [8/11/2020] vice presidential pick, Kamala Harris, calling Biden and Harris the "most pro-abortion presidential ticket in American history."  The former vice president announced Tuesday that Harris would be running with him in his bid for the White House.  Harris has a long history of advocating for increased abortion access and against pro-life policy:  she has voted against abortion bills that protect the unborn after 20 weeks of pregnancy and voted against protecting babies born alive after failed abortions.  As a presidential candidate, Harris promised to codify Roe v Wade, require judicial nominees to support Roe v Wade, to repeal the Hyde Amendment, to require private insurers to cover abortion and contraception, to make abortion drugs and birth control available over the counter, to ban abstinence only sex ed, to preserve funding for Planned Parenthood, and much more.  She also said she would not consider a running mate who opposed abortion rights.

Kamala Harris:  Young People Are 'Stupid' — 'They Make Really Bad Decisions'.  Cable news pundits claimed on Tuesday night that Kamala Harris could help to motivate young voters, but a speech from 2014 may prove to make that objective more difficult.  During a speech to the Ford Foundation, the then-California Attorney General used young people as a punchline, saying they are "stupid" and that's why they have to live with resident assistants in dormitories.

How Do I Tell My Friend She's Not 'African-American'?  [Scroll down]  [T]he Democratic Party is entirely about identity politics these days, meaning race, ethnicity, immigration status, gender and sexual orientation, but having absolutely nothing to do with economic class, social standing, occupational category or geographic location.  They already had Obama, so what's better than the first black president?  The first black woman president, of course! But she's half-Indian and half-Jamaican, not a foundational black American.  No reparations for her!  In fact, her Jamaican father admits their family owned slaves.  Yeah, yeah. [...] As described in my book Mugged, Democrats were always annoyed by the idea that civil rights should have anything to do with black people.  That's why "civil rights" quickly came to mean abortion rights, gay rights, the right not to see construction signs that say "Men at Work."  Black Americans should breathe a sigh of relief that Biden didn't pick a transsexual and expect their gratitude.

Sanders' former press secretary:  Let's face it, the Harris pick is a disaster for progressives.  Just what exactly do progressives — especially those with antipathy to law enforcement — get from a Joe Biden/Kamala Harris ticket?  The media has spent much of the past thirty hours celebrating this union rather than analyzing it, but not everyone's tossing confetti. [...] In an era where progressives want much more aggressive prosecutions for police officers who abuse their authority, Harris' record comes up considerably short on that issue.  Forbes notes that two progressive groups sounded less than thrilled with the pick as well.

Kamala Harris Campaign Lawyer Convinced Clinton To Take Money from Registered Foreign Agents.  The 2015 email exchange is especially concerning in light of a recent National Counterintelligence and Security Center report identifying foreign entities such as the Chinese Communist Party aiming to secure a Joe Biden presidency.  Elias, a lawyer for dozens of high-profile Democratic candidates including Hillary Clinton during her 2016 presidential bid, had been on Harris's presidential campaign as its top lawyer since its inception.  The trusted Harris adviser, however, was identified by Clinton's 2016 campaign director as "convincing" the campaign they should take money from registered foreign agents — Americans who lobby on behalf of foreign countries, individuals, and businesses.

Kamala Harris Took Campaign Cash from Jeffrey Epstein's Law Firm.  The failed presidential campaign of Joe Biden's running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), took cash donations from the law firm used by deceased child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, according to reports.  Sen. Harris, the former attorney general of California, bagged campaign cash from Kirkland and Ellis lawyers, an Associated Press report has revealed.  Harris bemoaned the influence of the powerful and connected elite when she called on top Justice Department officials to recuse themselves from any matter related to Epstein, AP reported shortly after the convicted pedophile's arrest in July 2019.

Remember when Kamala Harris prosecuted pro-life David Daleiden over baby parts.  In a California courtroom in September 2019, the CEO of StemExpress admitted to selling intact aborted babies to medical researchers.  This illegal practice was uncovered by two undercover reporters for The Center for American Progress, David Daleiden, and Sandra Merritt.  The videos were released beginning in 2015.  Planned Parenthood and organizations like StemExpress wre trafficking in human parts, aborted baby parts.  Instead of going after the organizations allegedly committing the crimes, the state of California, led by then-attorney general Kamala Harris, went after the undercover reporters who exposed the illegal activity.

Kamala Labeled 'Most Liberal Senator' — Has Zero Bipartisan Legislative Achievements.  If Democrats get their way on mail-in voting, there's a decent chance Kamala Harris could become vice president of the United States.  Trump supporters had better show up to the polls in November.  Every four years, people say, "this is the biggest election of our lifetime" — and it's not true.  It's a scare tactic.  But in just a few short months, it might actually be accurate.  A Biden/Harris administration would cripple America, there's no doubt about it.

Rose McGowan Calls Out Kamala Harris Over Harvey Weinstein: 'How Many Predators Bankroll You?'.  While Hollywood stars drool over Kamala Harris, actress Rose McGowan has shown up to deliver a sobering reality check.  The actress and #MeToo activist is calling out the newly minted vice presidential candidate for accepting donations from Harvey Weinstein when she was attorney general of California.  "Did you return the money Weinstein gave you?" McGowan tweeted Wednesday [8/12/2020].  "How many predators bankroll you?"

Kamala Harris Lies Repeatedly in [her] First Speech as Biden's Running Mate.  In her first speech since Joe Biden selected her as his running mate, Senator Kamala Harris told multiple lies.  To wit:  "The president's mismanagement of the pandemic has plunged us into the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression," Harris said.  False.  The pandemic and its associated lockdowns, not the president, are responsible for the economic contraction.  Donald Trump is not the president of the euro zone, which suffered through an even more dire economic contraction in the second quarter:  minus 40.3 percent, on an annualized basis, as against minus 32.9 percent in the US. [...] "Just look where [Trump and Mike Pence] have gotten us. ... Millions of kids who cannot go back to school," Harris said.  Wrong.  It is not Donald Trump's decision whether kids go back to school, because the federal government does not run schools, but he has urged the schools to reopen.  The primary reason kids cannot go back to school is opposition from teachers' unions.  The second-largest teachers' union is threatening to strike if schools reopen.

Joe and Kamala, the Demagogic Duo.  According to media accounts, a "power outage" delayed the debut of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on Wednesday [8/12/2020] — a foreshadowing of what we can expect from an anti-energy Biden-Harris administration.  Both are committed to an extreme environmentalism that will cripple America's oil and gas industry.  Harris is opposed to all fracking.  Biden has made as his vice-presidential running mate a San Francisco radical, whose voting record puts her to the left of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.  But the media, seeking to con independents, is casting Harris as a "pragmatic moderate."  Right.  She is no more moderate than Biden, who has promised to be the most liberal president ever.  His administration would combine the worst of the Obama years with all the radicalism of today's Democratic Party.  On ample display Wednesday was the ticket's relentless demagoguery.  Both Biden and Harris are audacious and monumental liars.  It is a toss-up as to who lied more in their speeches.

Kamala Harris Was Ringleader In Brett Kavanaugh Character Assassination Attempt.  One of the ringleaders of the Democratic Party's attempt to destroy Brett Kavanaugh's life in 2018 has been named Joe Biden's running mate for the 2020 presidential election.  Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., used the Kavanaugh nomination in 2018 as a springboard for her failed presidential campaign.  Focusing on her support for abortion and position on the Senate Judiciary Committee that handled the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, Harris strongly opposed Kavanaugh's nomination within moments of it being announced, and long before she had a chance to review his record.  She joined other Democratic presidential hopefuls on the steps of the Supreme Court the next day to further express her opposition.  She ran 3,600 different advertisements on Facebook before the second round of hearings began in late September 2018.

The message in Willie Brown's advice to Kamala.  It's no secret that Kamala Harris got a leg up in California politics because she dated Willie Brown.  It was a smart move on her part.  Brown was the California Assembly Speaker and a very powerful one.  It wasn't just patronage, though, that Brown provided.  Love him or hate him, Brown is now and always has been one of the smartest people in American politics.  That's why it's very interesting that, right before Kamala accepted Biden's offer to have her run as his vice president, Brown emphatically told her not to seek that position.  In giving that advice, Brown made the obvious point that the vice president's role is often, although not always, a dead-end. [...] Instead, Brown told Kamala to hold out for the position of Attorney General because it offered a better springboard for her future presidential ambitions.

GovTrack.US: Kamala Harris Is The Most Liberal Politician In The U.S. Senate.  The press is campaigning hard for the Biden-Harris ticket.  Press coverage of the two candidates after Biden introduced his running mate at a small, controlled event in Delaware went just as Team Biden hoped.  The reporters and liberal news anchors waxed poetically about the pair and the push is on to convince voters that Kamala Harris is a moderate Democrat.  Here is the thing, though — Kamala Harris has a voting record in the U.S. Senate and it's not the voting record of a moderate Democrat.  As a matter of fact, GovTrack.us ranks Senator Harris as the most liberal in the Senate.  Think of the Democrats in the Senate and then wrap your head around the fact that Kamala Harris is more liberal than Bernie Sanders or any of the far-left members of the Senate. [...] This is no longer Joe Biden's campaign for president.  This is Kamala's campaign.  Biden may be the name at the top of the ticket but Kamala is the person running the show.  Just as he would be should he be elected president in November, Biden is a figurehead.

Kamala Harris Is Farther Left Than Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.  How extreme is Kamala Harris?  Pretty extreme.  There are various measures for these things, but according to Progressive Punch ("Leading with the Left"), Kamala Harris is the fourth farthest-left of any senator with a score of 96.76 percent out of 100 on "crucial votes," despite moderating very slightly in the period when she was running for president.  Elizabeth Warren is fifth, Kirsten Gillibrand is sixth, and Bernie Sanders is tenth.  Here is a portion of the chart:  [Chart at left]

Kamala Harris Failed to Prosecute Priest Sex Abuse Cases Despite Victims' Pleas.  Joe Biden announced Tuesday he has chosen Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) as his running mate, a person the presumptive Democrat nominee described as a "fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country's finest public servants."  During Harris's tenure as San Francisco's chief prosecutor, however, she showed no signs of fighting for "the little guy" when she failed to prosecute any of the sexual abuse claims brought against Catholic priests in the city, despite outcries from victim groups.

Kamala Harris Promoted Group That Paid Bail for Murderers and Sex Offenders.  Imagine electing someone as vice president of the United States after she promoted a group that paid bail for violent criminals, including an accused murderer and a rapist.  Well, that's exactly what Kamala Harris did.  In the aftermath of George Floyd's deaths, violent rioters caused millions in damages and other crimes.  The Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF), a group that raises money to pay the bail of criminals, received a lot of publicity when Hollywood liberals virtue-signaled their support for the group and donated big money to their cause.  Kamala Harris also promoted the group.

Report:  CNN Publishes Cryptic Piece Suggesting Harris is Ready to Take Over When Biden "Steps Aside".  I really don't understand the Kamala Harris pick.  I think this was the biggest blunder Team Biden has made, and that's saying a lot because they've made a lot of blunders.  Harris polled like garbage during the Dem primary.  She was a massive disappointment and underwhelmed voters. [...] Her record of locking up black men for marijuana possession is abysmal by today's "BLM standards." But her quest to lock up innocent people and keep innocent people behind bars is what is truly shocking. [...] Biden's campaign is unlike any other:  he's two sneezes away from full-blown Alzheimer's, so his VP pick is more than just his "sidekick," it's understood that his VP will actually be the "president."  and keeping that in mind, he still went with Kamala Harris?

Kamala Harris believed Joe Biden's accusers — until she didn't.  By the standard of her own ample public record, Kamala Harris has just joined the presidential campaign of a serial sexual abuser, Joe Biden.  It was during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings that we first learned that Harris harbors serious presidential aspirations.  Her cross-examination of the future justice went viral, prompting Politico to speculate:  "Kamala Harris Rides Kavanaugh Rage in Likely 2020 Bid."  She later explained her hard-line position in an Atlantic magazine interview.  Sexual assault, she said, "is an issue right now that is where the issue of domestic violence was about 30 years ago. ... There was a perception about domestic violence:  'Oh, you know, what happens in the king's castle is the king's business.  That's private business.  That's not our business.'  But then we evolved as a society. ... I believe this is an inflection moment on the issue of sexual assault."

You've Been Warned:  Kamala Harris Shall Not Be Criticized.  Vice presidential candidates typically have to face scrutiny, and Joe Biden's choice, especially given the presidential candidate's advanced age and cognitive decline, will be no exception.  He could have done the right thing by choosing his old friend Chris Dodd.  Instead, Biden has selected an old rival, Kamala Harris.  Democratic Party operatives, liberal activists, and media pundits — to the extent there's a difference — have been preparing for this moment for some time.  An active campaign is underway to shape the media's coverage of Biden's female running mate, declaring almost every form of criticism to be off limits.

Biden's selection of Harris for VP means disastrous San Francisco economic model could go nationwide.  The Democrat party's lunge to the far-left is near completion with presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's pick of Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., as his running mate on Tuesday [8/11/2020].  She is very much a San Francisco Democrat who assumes more and more obtrusive government rules, mandates and taxes are never enough.  Her run for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination in 2019 (she dropped out in December) demonstrated that she has neither the beliefs nor the backbone to counter her party's embrace of socialism.  Here she will be a collaborator, not a resister.

Senator Kennedy On Harris Becoming Biden's VP Pick:  She's AOC 'Without The Bartending Experience'.  Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) warned voters on Wednesday that Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), who was selected this week to be presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's running mate, is not the moderate that the media claims that she is.  "Kamala is my colleague, so I want to congratulate her.  I think she is very personable," Kennedy said.  "She's very smart, she's very aggressive, and she's very liberal.  I think of Kamala, I would describe her as Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez but smarter and without the bartending experience.  She'll be a very formidable candidate."

Donald Trump:  Kamala Harris 'Going to Be a Big Failure'.  President Donald Trump on Wednesday predicted that Sen. Kamala Harris would be a failure as former Vice President Joe Biden's running mate.  "I read today that she is very short on facts," Trump said.  "I think she's going to be a big failure."

One Question Kamala Must Answer:  Do You Stand with Israel or With the Anti-Semitic BLM and BDS Movements.  Sen. Kamala Harris is now the Democratic nominee for vice president, which effectively means that, given Joe Biden's declining mental health, she needs to be evaluated as a presidential candidate.  One of the most important characteristics for anyone, especially a political leader, is integrity.  We need to know if our leaders are committed to their values (even if we disagree with them) or if they will do and say anything to get and retain power.  Ms. Harris has repeatedly been attacked by her opponents for doing the latter:  first, she ran for office on a "tough-on-crime" platform and then tried to curry favor with criminals by proudly saying she used to smoke pot while listening to Tupac and Snoop Dogg while in college (the irony being that she graduated college before either rap artist released an album).  She claimed to be tough on crime, but embraced "sanctuary" cities and states and has ignored immigration laws when it serves her in trying to be popular.

The Real Kamala Harris.  Joe Biden has picked the runt of the litter, an also-ran loser in the Democratic primaries who never one a primary, barely escaped sitting at the kiddies table, whom the voters didn't think was qualified to be president, yet whom Biden wanted to be a heartbeat away.  Or maybe his puppet masters, the voices in his earpiece, and the voices in his head picked her from a list loaded with more baggage than an airport carousel.  Biden picked a running mate who labeled him a racist opponent of school busing who cavorted and collaborated with segregationist Democrat colleagues in the Senate where Biden supported legislation leading to the incarceration of young black males.  Of course, Harris did her part in incarcerating young black males with a vengeance as states attorney in San Francisco and attorney general of California.  Kamala Harris also believes Biden is a sexual predator, saying we should believe his accusers, even staffer Tara Reade, who has credibly accused him of sexual assault.

Hemingway: Biden Should Have Picked Centrist VP To Win Over Swing State Voters.  The Federalist Senior Editor Mollie Hemingway took aim at Sen. Kamala Harris' far-left record on "The Ingraham Angle" Tuesday night, after Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden announced Harris as his running mate.  "There's a reason why Republicans seem a little more excited by this pick than Democrats do," Hemingway said, adding that Biden should have picked a moderate if he wanted to attract the voters that Hillary Clinton lost in 2016.  "Instead, he made a decision to go for a far-left, California Democrat."  "She wears well for the first 15 minutes and then people kind of get tired of her," Hemingway continued, suggesting that Harris' biggest problem is her extremely liberal views.  Harris is "so radical on abortion she's actually tried to imprison pro-lifers and journalists who do work exposing what is happening in abortion clinics," Hemingway said, referring to then-Attorney General of California Harris' prosecution of undercover journalist David Daleiden.

RIP, Kamala.  [Scroll down]  She's a California senator who worked her way up from district attorney of San Francisco, best known from her time in that job as an enabler of pedophile Catholic priests and the "side-piece" of California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown.  Harris progressed, largely thanks to her extramarital relationship with Brown, to California attorney general and then the U.S. Senate, where she helped to orchestrate the Christine Blasey Ford hoax in a vain attempt to smear Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on the eve of his nomination.  Then this Kamala Harris decided to force herself on the American people as a presidential candidate, in an effort that was a ghastly failure.  Despite raising and spending a fortune thanks to her close connections with the Clintons and their fundraising machine, she crashed and burned in the early primaries and dropped out, but not before attacking eventual nominee Biden as a racist — which she prefaced by denying she was doing so, something the Biden shills at the Washington Post now say is proof that she never did it.

Kamala Harris's Relentless Pursuit of Power.  The fact that Harris will say and do anything for power is evident in her very acceptance of Biden's offer.  It's going to be fascinating to watch Harris explain why she is running with man who only months ago she strongly insinuated was a racist.  "There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day, and that little girl was me," Harris explained, as she hit Biden on his history of working with segregationists to oppose busing laws in the 1970s.  It will be even more fascinating to hear the moral calculus Harris employs to rationalize running with a rapist.  This isn't George Bush and Ronald Reagan making up after tussling on "voodoo economics."  Concerning allegations of sexual misconduct against Joe Biden, Harris once said, "I believe them, and I respect them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it."  One of the women Harris was referring to was Tara Reade, whom accused Biden of sexually assaulting her in 1993, when she worked as an aide for the then Delaware senator.  "I believe them" doesn't lend it itself to much interpretation.

The Ghost of Sarah Palin Will Haunt the Media This Election Cycle.  In the coming months, a phalanx of mainstream media outlets and leftist women's groups will be deployed to defend Sen. Kamala Harris, Joe Biden's vice-presidential pick, by labeling any and all criticism of her as sexist and possibly racist. (It remains unclear what we're to make of Harris's own charges against Biden of racism and sexism — and sexual assault — in the primaries earlier this year.)  Groups like Emily's List, Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and others recently sent a letter to news outlets that they'll be monitoring coverage of Biden's VP pick by "popping up rapid response teams tasked with tracking and calling out sexism and racism in real-time," according to NBC News.  Meanwhile, Biden's campaign manager recently warned on an all-staff call that "sexism will motivate the ugliest attacks against" the VP pick, and that everyone on the campaign will be enlisted to defend her, reports the Washington Post.

Kamala Harris:  Most Liberal Senator; Backed Green New Deal, 'Medicare for All'.  The choice of Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) as former Vice President Joe Biden's running mate on Tuesday marks Biden's continued march to the left, as Harris is one of the most left-wing members of the U.S. Senate.  The non-partisan GovTrack.us website ranked Harris the 4th most liberal member of the Senate, based on an analysis of legislation that she sponsored or co-sponsored through 2018, the first two years she spent in Congress.

Kamala Harris Once Laughed Hysterically After Joking About Killing President Trump.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) once made waves following an appearance on Ellen, where she laughed hysterically after joking about killing President Trump during a rapid-fire question session with host Ellen DeGeneres.  At the time of the appearance, April 2018, Harris remained mum on her presidential aspirations but answered a series of amusing questions about her first celebrity crush, nicknames, and the most "rebellious" thing she did as a teen.  Then DeGeneres asked, "If you had to be stuck in an elevator with either President Trump, Mike Pence, or Jeff Sessions, who would it be?"

It says a lot that Biden chose Kamala, and none of what it says is good.  What's most striking about Kamala is that, like Barack Obama, she has nothing in common with the American black experience.  Despite her slamming the race card on the table, the only thing she shares with the generic "black vote" is skin color.  Kamala did not come from a family that has traveled through generations of the American black experience.  There's no history of Southern slavery, no Reconstruction, and no being part of the endless variety of post-Reconstruction stories.  Some blacks struggled through the Jim Crow South, some reveled in the Harlem Renaissance, some roped cows in the Wild West, some were part of the single biggest American migration when they moved to the upper Midwest, some embraced the middle class, and some got sucked into the undertow of the underclass.  Each is an American story.  Kamala's bio, by contrast, brings her closer to me: like me, she's a first-generation immigrant who is the child of very educated parents (although her upbringing was more affluent than mine).  Her mother is a high-caste East Indian breast cancer scientist, while her father is a Jamaican-born economist who is an emeritus professor at Stanford.  Like me, Kamala grew up in liberal enclaves that were anything but racist (although Kamala also spent many years growing up outside the U.S. in Montreal).

Wikileaks Links Document File on Kamala Harris, Liberals Freak Out.  Everyone was all atwitter over the announcement by Joe Biden that he finally had decided on Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA).  My colleague Joe Cunningham wrote that Harris was always the choice even though of late there has been discussion of Karen Bass and Susan Rice.  The left was trying to put the best spin they could on the choice, as my colleague Streiff observed, seemingly forgetting about the fact that she in essence called Biden a racist, got knocked out of the race by Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and dropped out because she couldn't catch fire as a candidate after all her flip flopping on issues.

Hillary Recrudescence?  Biden's choice of Kamala Harris represents return of Democrats' Hillary wing.  Harris, as it happens, represents one of three wings of the increasingly fractious Democratic Party.  She's the creature of the Hillary Clinton wing, which is the opportunistic center of the Democrats (important point), lost the last election, and continues to seethe.  Joe's picked this group over the others.  The other hydra heads on this beast are the Bernie Sanders socialist wing, which is truly crazy, modeling itself on the ideas of Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez, whether it admits it or not, and the former minions of the last winning Democratic White House, the Obama wing, which I guess represents the right (of the Democrats, not the country), given its pragmatic experience in governing, with an opposition, rather than in a truly socialist one-party-state vacuum.  I argued this last August 2: [...] Biden's pick represents the triumph of the Hillary wing of the party.

On Kamala Harris.  Joe Biden has named his 2020 running mate: authoritarianism.  American prosecutors wield awesome and terrible powers that lend themselves easily to abuse, and Senator Kamala Harris, formerly the attorney general of California, is an enthusiastic abuser of them.  Harris was a leader in the junta of Democratic state attorneys general that attempted to criminalize dissent in the matter of global warming, using her office's investigatory powers to target and harass non-profit policy groups while she and her counterpart in New York attempted to shake down Exxon on phony fraud cases.  Until she was stopped by a federal court, Harris was laying subpoenas on organizations such as the Americans for Prosperity Foundation, a conservative-leaning group that is critical of Democratic global-warming proposals.

New group tells media what they can't report about Biden's running mate.  A new group, We Have Her Back, is comprised of far-far left agitators — all women — including Valerie Jarrett (the Obamas' close friend), Planned Parenthood and NARAL, Emily's List, Times Up, and others.  They sent out an absurd, and stunning memo.  The group put the memo together as we "embark on a historic moment — once again — having a woman on the presidential ticket."  After bloviating about George Floyd and regurgitating the weaponization of black and brown women, they listed all the things they don't want to hear from News Division Heads, Editors in Chiefs, Bureau Chiefs, Political Directors, Editors, Producers, Reporters, and Anchors.  How is that acceptable?  These far-left women are telling the media — the news — what they are allowed to say.  The media will acquiesce.

Democratic Party sets rules for criticizing Biden's VP pick Kamala Harris.  Media organizations have just been warned by the Democratic Party machine that they better be very, very careful with how they cover Joe Biden's vice presidential choice — just revealed to be Kamala Harris.  Any criticism of the expected woman will be considered racist and sexist, we are told.  Oh, they wrap up that threat in a word salad, but that's the bottom line:  There should be second and even third thoughts about any criticism of Mr. Biden's VP pick.  An actual memo went out from an ad hoc group of Democratic operatives (pretending to be advocates for women) to media organizations with orders on how to proceed with their coverage.  The fact that they expected this partisan missive to be accepted and adhered to by media entities tells you all you need to know about the problem with today's legacy media.

Kamala Harris's Anti-Catholic Bigotry.  Someone might want to remind Joe Biden, who's just picked progressive California senator Kamala Harris as his running mate, that his vice-president-to-be believes Catholics are unfit to serve in our nation's courts.  (Biden, of course, as I considered at length on the homepage today, has spent his entire political career invoking his Catholic faith.)  In late 2018, while evaluating the nomination of Brian Buescher to serve as a district judge in Nebraska, Harris posed a series of questions insinuating that his involvement in the Knights of Columbus — a charitable Catholic fraternal organization — disqualified him from serving on the bench.

For Biden, Kamala the cop will be Kamala the flop.  With the choice of Kamala Harris as his running mate, Joe Biden has taken another large step toward blowing the election.  To swing voters — suburban soccer moms turned off by President Trump, a swath of white laborers, family-oriented Hispanic women — Harris will prove to be anathema.  Her crusading leftism, hard-edged personal style, and facial sneer will make her like 10,000 fingernails on 1,000 loud chalkboards, amplified by a boom microphone so strong it can be heard for hundreds of miles.  As my colleague Tim Carney noted two weeks ago, Harris "tanked in the polls as soon as she got national exposure during the Democratic debates.  Throughout her presidential run, Gallup never found her to have higher favorables than unfavorables. ... They're still bad. [...]"

So.  Harris.  In a move surprising no one, Joe Biden has picked Kamala Harris as his running mate.  The tokenism is obvious, but her history as a prosecutor is [an affront] to the defund the police crowd.  In one sense it mirrors Obama's pick of Biden himself for VP:  A poor rival that was easily bested.  But even though Biden only garnered 1% of Iowa caucus votes in 2008, Harris didn't even make it to the Iowa caucuses, doing so badly on the campaign trail that she dropped out in December.  Let's stroll through a list of "Kamala Harris Greatest Hits": [...]

Treat Kamala like they treated Palin.  Obama said of Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin in 2008, "You can put lipstick on a pig, but it's still a pig."  Now Democrats want us to speak no ill of their token female nominee for VP. [...] NBC's report did not mention Governor Palin at all, and certainly not the vicious attacks by the media and the rest of the Democrat Party.  Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett whined on MSNBC, "Deal with the substance.  Don't talk about what she looks like. ... Let's stop describing us with words you wouldn't use to describe a man."  Does that mean we can mock her skin color like Democrats mock the Orange Man?

Flashback: Father of Kamala Harris Details on How Their Ancestors Owned Slaves.  The father of Kamala Harris detailed how their ancestors owned slaves, an inconvenient part of her history as she has spent much of her campaign focusing on race politics.  The Democrats have been up in arms about an NBC News report that detailed how Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's great-great-grandfathers owned slaves in Alabama in the 1800s.

Joe Biden's Awful Vice Presidential Pick.  Usually, the vice presidential pick means little or nothing.  The vice presidency is a uniquely powerless office, and presidents rarely hand over power to their vice presidents.  But Joe Biden will be 78 in November and appears to be slipping significantly mentally — despite CNN's protestations that he can still ride a bicycle.  There is a reason nearly 6 in 10 Americans, according to a new Rasmussen poll, think Biden's vice president will finish his first term.  So Biden had one task:  to pick a vice president who would appear nonthreatening, mainstream and generally normal.  The onus would then lie with President Trump to shift the spotlight from his own campaign.  Biden couldn't do it.  He made an early error on that score when he declared publicly that he would pick a woman.  This made it obvious that Biden was seeking a token — some sop for the woke progressives in his base.  And that sop opened the door to further demands:  the demand, for example, that he pick not merely a woman but a black woman.

Never Forget:  Senate Voted Unanimously to Rebuke Anti-Christian Remarks by Kamala Harris and Support Religious Freedom in US.  It's widely understood that Democrats are no longer afraid to hide their anti-Christian bigotry from the American public.  In September 2017, Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein led the attacks on Catholic Judge Amy Barrett saying, "the dogma lives loudly within you."  Senator Dick Durbin from Illinois accused Judge Barrett of being an "Orthodox Catholic" — a term used as a smear against observant Catholics.  Then in January 2018 Democrats continued to show their dark bigotry against American Christians.  Far Left Senators Kamala Harris and Mazie Hirono attacked Judge Brian Buescher for his membership into the Knights of Columbus.  The Knights of Columbus is an esteemed Catholic men's group founded in 1882 and dedicated to charitable work.

CNN Says the Quiet Part Out Loud About Harris Taking Over For Biden.  Can we all just stop pretending Biden is in charge of this ticket?  CNN probably won't, but for a brief moment in time last night, the liberal network managed to say the quiet part out loud about Harris taking over for Biden. [...] Regardless, here's what you normally don't do when a VP candidate is chosen for a ticket.  You don't immediately begin to speculate the top of the ticket is so incapable of doing the job that he may not finish out his first term.  That's usually a red flag to not make that person president in the first place.  But we are living in a reality where defeating Trump overtakes all common sense for the left, to the point where the media are salivating at the thought of a senile old man being elected because they can just swap him out for Harris when the time is right.

Reminder: Kamala's Big Lie During the Kavanaugh Hearing, Even Politifact Busted Her.  [Scroll down]  But perhaps one of the things that was most unappealing about Harris was how she treated Brett Kavanaugh during the hearings on his nomination for the Supreme Court.  It's a good reminder for Americans how disturbed they were about what Democrats did.  One of the principals in that deceitful political effort to smear Kavanaugh was Kamala Harris.  She even went after him with an edited video trying to trap him in a "lie" when she was actually using an edited video to frame him and make him look bad.  But she got busted so badly that even Politifact called her out on it.

Applause Breaks Out at MSNBC as Biden Picks Kamala Harris.  Applause broke out from at least one person on MSNBC as Joe Biden picked Kamala Harris to be his vice presidential nominee.  The network turned to MSNBC analyst Claire McCaskill, a former Democratic senator.  Brian Williams breathlessly reported the breaking news:  "I am just being told we have a pick and it's Kamala Harris of California."  Clapping could be heard off-camera.  Since this is MSNBC and that could be any person at the network, Williams clarified, "For the record, those applause [sic] were from Claire McCaskill."  Of course McCaskiill [sic] was thrilled:  "Well, she's going to be a terrific vice president.... I just think she's a terrific pick.  And I think she's going to be a great vice president and a particularly strong candidate."

Trump campaign calls Biden VP Kamala Harris 'a phony,' Biden's 'political living will'.  President Trump's re-election campaign on Tuesday lashed Joe Biden's running mate Kamala Harris as a "phony" who buried her prosecutorial record in order to "appease the anti-police extremists controlling the Democrat Party," and the Democratic candidate's "political living will."  Trump also tweeted a brutal campaign video dubbing the duo "Slow Joe" and "Phony Kamala" in a preview of the battle to unfold over the next 86 days before the November election.  The opening salvo came just minutes after the Democratic nominee announced the senator from California as his vice president.

Joe Biden selects Kamala Harris as his running mate.  Joe Biden has chosen Kamala Harris, the prominent senator from California whose political career has included many barrier-breaking moments, as his running mate, his campaign announced on Tuesday [8/11/2020].  The decision comes more than a year after Harris, who was also a 2020 Democratic candidate, clashed with Biden over racial issues during the first primary debate.  If elected, she would be the nation's first female, first Black and first Asian American vice president.  Picking Harris, who is 55, provides the ticket with some generational diversity.  Biden, 77, would be the oldest president-elect in U.S. history.

Kamala Harris On the Ticket Is an In-Kind Donation to Trump-Pence 2020.  To the surprise of a very few, Joe Biden chose Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate. [...] Seriously, people, I don't think I've ever been this excited about a VP pick for a ticket, and it's not even my party's ticket.  What Harris Brings to the Ticket:  Baggage, for starters.  Enough baggage to fill a fleet of 747s. [...] Harris has been a, shall we say, problematic candidate from the get-go.  Her tenures as both the district attorney in San Francisco and the attorney general of California left a lot to be desired.  I wrote in a post early last year speculating that she may be her own toughest obstacle because of this: [...]

Kamala the Mattress Did Not Quite Sleep Her Way to the Top.  [Scroll down]  As California's population changed, its statewide leaders changed.  San Francisco gained greater influence, and the Democrat Kingmaker of San Francisco, Willie Brown, rose from mayor to become the state's premier power broker.  It was against that backdrop that Kamala Harris rose to prominence as public arm-candy-with-extra-benefits to Willie.  California has become a one-party state.  The Democrats hold everything statewide.  Remember United States Sen. Barbara Boxer? [...] When she retired, Kamala Harris slithered in.  She shamelessly made her rounds throughout the state as plaything to the very married Willie Brown.  It is not clear how much Kamala was Willie Brown's mistress, but she clearly was his mattress.  Harris slept her way into prominence by being Willie's public escort and consort.  During the incredibly public affair, everyone knew of it and also knew that Brown still was very married.

Bernie supporters, progressives trash Biden-Harris ticket.  Some progressives expressed their frustration and condemnation of Joe Biden's selection of Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., as his running mate.  Ever since Biden became the presumptive Democratic nominee, there has been an ongoing debate on the left as to who he could pick as his vice president that can motivate enough of the base, including supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., to support the ticket in November.  On Tuesday [8/11/2020], Biden announced that Harris would be his vice president.  Sanders himself extended his support for his Senate colleague and former 2020 rival.

Kamala Harris [is] an underwhelming VP pick by Joe Biden.  Sen. Kamala Harris checks off two big boxes for 2020 Dems — gender and race.  But the moment, if not the actual choice, feels underwhelming because of the amateurish way Joe Biden and his team let the process spin out of control.  The drawn-out, overhyped vetting often made it seem as if the running mate would save the ticket.  A month ago there were six finalists, then maybe 12.  Some openly campaigned, with Stacey Abrams and Karen Bass enlisting supporters to speak to Biden directly.  Susan Rice talked up what she saw as her qualifications on television as if picking her was a no-brainer.  Much of the time it seemed as if the campaign was putting out leaks to give the impression there were developments when there were none.  With Biden mostly basement-bound in Delaware and slow to roll out serious policy proposals, the veep hunt and the speculation took on outsized importance.

Kamala Harris's Final Poll Number in Home State of California: 7%.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) emerged as former Vice President Joe Biden's running mate on Tuesday.  But her presidential campaign was a disaster: even in her home state, Harris struggled to build support, finishing at 7% in California last year. [...] Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) also took the fight to Harris in the second presidential debate in Detroit, Michigan, focusing negative attention on Harris's checkered record as a prosecutor in San Francisco and as California Attorney General.  By the fall of 2019, Harris had fallen back into single digits in some California polls, while the frontrunners — Sanders, Biden, and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) — were into the 20's.

Flashback — Kamala Harris: 'I Believe' Biden Accusers.  In April 2019, senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) said she believed the women who said they felt uncomfortable after being touched by former Vice President and presumptive Democrat nominee Joe Biden.  Senator Harris said last year at one of her campaign events that she believed accusers of Joe Biden, according to a report by The Hill.  "I believe them and I respect them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it," said Harris at an April 2019 event in Nevada.

15 Democrats Who Lasted Longer Than Kamala Harris in the Primary.  The Democrat's presumptive nominee Joe Biden named his former primary opponent Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) as his running mate Tuesday, despite her notoriously poor performance in the 2020 primaries.  The California Democrat launched her presidential campaign in January 2019 with great fanfare.  But despite the fawning media coverage hailing her as the "frontrunner" and the "candidate to beat," Harris' campaign crashed and burned two months before a single vote was cast.

Donald Trump:  Kamala Harris 'Meanest, Most Horrible, Most Disrespectful' Senator.  President Donald Trump on Tuesday reacted to the news that former Vice President Joe Biden had selected Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate in 2020.  The president criticized Harris for treating his nominee to the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, unfairly during the confirmation hearings.  "That was a horrible event," Trump said.  "I thought it was terrible for her, I thought it was terrible for our nation.  She was the meanest, most horrible, most disrespectful than anybody in the U.S. Senate."

Joe Biden Reads from Script While Talking to Kamala Harris on Zoom.  Former Vice President Joe Biden appeared to have a script before him during a video call via Zoom with Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), who was selected by his campaign to be his running mate on Tuesday.  One America News's Jack Posobiec made the observation on Twitter while sharing a photo released by Adam Schultz, the photographer for Biden's presidential campaign.  Schultz photographed Biden during a video call with Harris, describing the image as capturing the moment Biden advised Harris of her selection. "[Joe Biden] picks [Kamala Harris] for VP at his home in Delaware today over zoom," he wrote on his Instagram post.

'Don't get muzzled': Sarah Palin offers Kamala Harris advice after VP pick.  Sarah Palin congratulated Kamala Harris and offered some advice after Joe Biden picked her to be his running mate.  "Congrats to the democrat VP pick," Palin said in an Instagram post after the announcement.  "Climb upon Geraldine Ferraro's and my shoulders, and from the most amazing view in your life consider lessons we learned."  Palin, who was John McCain's running mate during his unsuccessful 2008 presidential campaign, included a list of lessons she learned during her time campaigning.

A Vote For Biden Puts Far-Left Kamala Harris In Line To Be President — Scared Yet?  No one should be at all surprised that the mentally fading Joe Biden selected California Sen. Kamala Harris as his running mate.  He painted himself into a political corner by his own foolish decisions, and needed to do something to revive his moribund, basement-bound campaign. [...] Picking Harris was no surprise.  The Democratic hard left, which today governs the party, likes to shove people in boxes.  No one's ever a mere human being, but a race, a gender, a religion, a political category.  As such, Harris checked three big boxes for the Democrats:  Woman, check.  African-American, check.  Far-left progressive, check. [...] The problem is, in picking a running mate, the ailing Biden is very likely also picking the president who will follow him without the need for an election, should he win.  Are Americans going to take a liking to the sometimes-hard-to-like Harris?  Knowing her past, will they pull the lever for Biden knowing she might be president?

The Editor says...
Kamala Harris's mother is an Indian citizen.  Her father is a Jamaican citizen.  [Source]  Thus, it is incorrect to call her an African-American.

Is Kamala Harris eligible to be Joe Biden's VP?  Is Kamala Harris a natural born citizen?  It is no secret that Harris wants to be Joe Biden's vice president.  The junior senator from California clearly sees an opening to her real objective: the presidency of the United States. [...] Harris would love to "back door" her way into the presidency, especially given the fact that her vacuous campaign was an unmitigated disaster, and any future presidential ambitions looked to be a virtual impossibility only a few months ago.  But not so fast.  Harris is constitutionally ineligible to be VPOTUS (12th Amendment) or POTUS (Article 2).  She is not — nor can she ever be — a natural born citizen, the highest standard of citizenship mandated by the Constitution for the president and commander-in-chief.

Opposing viewpoint:
Natural born Citizen:  Kamala Harris.  There are rumblings that Kamala Harris may not be eligible to be Vice President under the 12th Amendment, by virtue of her not being eligible to be President since she is not a 'natural born Citizen' ("no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States").  The theory is that while she was born in the United States (Oakland, CA), some combination of her parents not being citizens at the time or not being naturally born Citizens themselves renders her not a natural born Citizen.  I examined a similar issue in 2013 with regard to Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, and Ted Cruz, and concluded in an 11,000-word analysis that they were eligible. [...] I see nothing that distinguishes Harris from those three Republicans, even assuming her parents were not U.S. citizens at the time of her birth in Oakland.  There are many reasons to vote against Kamala Harris, but she is eligible.

Former San Francisco mayor urges Kamala Harris to 'politely decline' VP slot, aim for AG instead.  Former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown has urged Sen. Kamala Harris to "politely decline" a spot on Joe Biden's ticket if the 2020 presumptive Democratic nominee chooses her as his running mate.  In an op-ed headlined "Brown:  Kamala Harris should say no to vice presidency" published by the San Francisco Chronicle on Saturday, Brown, who has openly discussed his past extramarital relationship with Harris, urged her to reject the vice presidency and request instead to be considered for the role of attorney general in a Biden administration.

Desperate: Biden grasps for Gretchen Whitmer as potential running mate.  [Scroll down]  Then there was Sen. Kamala Harris, the dirty-cop prosecutor who slept her way to the top with California's power-godfather, Willie Brown, accused Biden of being a racist during the debates, and got nowhere when she campaigned in Iowa.  Her fake smiling was obvious to the Midwesterners who rejected her before she even got a chance to run in a primary, meaning she'd bring nothing to the party, maybe not even California, and worse still for Joe, she's got the lean and hungry look, with likely realistic suspicions going around that she would seek Joe's job.

Kamala Harris supporters mobilize to soften VP concerns by Joe Biden advisors.  Defenders of California Sen. Kamala Harris are rallying to her support over concerns that she is being viewed skeptically by the advisors vetting possible running mates for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.  As Biden nears the announcement of his vice presidential choice, the top contenders and their advocates are making final appeals.  The campaign hasn't finalized a date for naming a running mate, but three people who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the plans said a public announcement probably wouldn't happen before the week of Aug. 10.

So it's Senator Kamala Harris?  Want to bet?  Former Vice President Joe Biden seems to have announced Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate.  There was an inquisitive photographer's shot of his notes suggesting just that.  But there's also some question about whether she's really qualified.  The media has already seeded the ground with quotes from some of the dumbest lawyers in America to state she is a "natural born citizen" under Article II of the U.S. Constitution, and is therefore, eligible to be vice president or president.  Is that really true?  Kamala Harris' mother was Shyamala Gopalan, born in British India (present-day Chennai in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu).  Ms. Gopalan never became a naturalized U.S. citizen.  Donald Harris, Senator Harris' father, is a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Jamaica.  There are no provisions in the U.S. Constitution that qualifies a child born of a foreign national as a natural-born citizen and Senator Harris is not eligible to hold the office of the vice president.

Biden notes show talking points about Kamala Harris.  Former Vice President Joe Biden was photographed during an event Tuesday holding talking points about Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), a former rival in the Democratic presidential primary who is in top contention to be his running mate.  As he answered reporters' questions at a campaign event in Delaware, Biden was seen holding a note pad with the first line under Harris's name apparently stating that he does "not hold grudges," seemingly in reference to a fierce clash between the two at a primary debate earlier this year.  His notes also underscore that Harris "campaigned with me & Jill," is "talented" and has been a "great help to [the] campaign."

Cop-O Research:  Is Kamala Harris Planting Evidence on Her VP Rivals?  Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.), whose failed presidential campaign flamed out before any primary votes were cast, is a top contender to be Joe Biden's running mate in 2020. Curiously enough, negative stories about Harris's potential rivals for the VP slot have been popping up of late in mainstream media outlets.  Imagine that.  Biden's promise to select a female running mate, along with the increasing pressure to pick a woman of color, has left the former vice president with limited options. [...] Harris clearly wants the gig.  Pretty much everyone does, given the likelihood that the elderly and cognitively declining Biden might not even serve a full term in office.  Enough to be shopping oppo about the other black women under consideration?  Obviously.

Kamala Gets a Reverse Michael Jackson.  It appears that the Voodoo Queen had some work done, and had her nose widened to look less Caucasian.  This tells Diogenes two things.  1) That she is Joe's V.P. pick and 2) that she already knows it.

Report: Kamala Harris Bored as Senator, Misses Being Able to Lock People Up.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) is "frustrated by the bureaucracy" in Washington and pines for the authority she enjoyed as attorney general of California, according to the New York Times.  In other words, she misses being able to lock people up — for minor drug offenses, for truancy, and so on.  The Times reported Monday that Harris "has mused to allies about missing the control afforded to her" as a chief prosecutor.  As attorney general of California, for example, Harris shunned progressive concerns about "criminal justice reform" in favor of a ruthlessly aggressive approach to law enforcement.

Kamala Harris is not your vice president.  Little over a week on from the sad demise of the Kamala Harris presidential campaign, the California senator is the bookies' favorite to be the Democratic vice presidential candidate.  Yes, despite her candidacy's high-point coming at the expense of Joe Biden in the first debate — shivving the front-runner for holding a stance on busing remarkably similar to her own — there have been rumblings about her being the right woman to balance his ticket.

Rebels without a cause.  Kamala Harris quit the 2020 presidential race. [...] What's the connection between the fall of the "female Obama" and an endemic but non-party-led global unrest?  The connection may be the decline of millennialism. [...] Millennialism rests on the assumption that some kind of apocalyptic battle — capitalism vs. communism, jihad vs. infidel, climate warriors vs. deniers. etc. — is at hand.  Naturally, a struggle of such importance had to be won by any means necessary.  A select vanguard, party, or movement were the people to do the job.  Sacrifices would have to be made, collateral damage endured, but no matter; victory would bring a millennial kingdom into being where the masses or even the planet would live happily ever after.  For decades this kind of thinking ruled progressive politics.  But the problem was that the vision proved a mirage.  Improvement, when it came, was the result of the creativity of millions, not the state planner.

Kamala Harris should never have run for president.  California Sen. Kamala Harris should never have run for president in the first place.  Her ambition far exceeded her ability.  She hadn't yet established herself in the U.S. Senate.  And she hadn't exactly excelled in her previous job as California's attorney general.  There wasn't much of a record worth bragging about on the campaign trail.  After being elected to the Senate in a 2016 cakewalk, she should have spent the next three years focused exclusively on representing Californians in Congress, helping the state on such vital issues as water development, environmental protection, healthcare and homelessness.  But people around her — political advisors and her sister Maya Harris — convinced the senator she could be a female Barack Obama and be elected the first woman president.  And wouldn't it be a kick to be the Democrat who brought down President Trump?

Three Reasons Kamala Harris Crashed.  Sen. Kamala Harris, once considered a 2020 presidential Democratic frontrunner, ended her bid for the nomination on Tuesday, citing a lack of funds.  "I'm not a billionaire.  I can't fund my own campaign," she wrote in an email to supporters.  "And as the campaign has gone on, it's become harder and harder to raise the money we need to compete."  Harris becomes the second major candidate to drop out of the primary race before Iowa, joining Beto O'Rourke, who bowed out last month after failing to gain significant support and running out of money.

Kamala Harris Goes Down Fighting.  Unbridled ambition and aggression have their place in presidential politics — as the man in the Oval Office reminded the nation in 2016  — but in the case of California freshman Sen. Kamala Harris, they weren't enough to overcome the lack of a clear policy vision.  The candidate who threw some of the hardest punches on the debate stage ended her presidential bid after high hopes faded amid a string of underwhelming results.  Her quest concluded with an open letter.  Her campaign, Harris admitted Tuesday, is broke.

Good Riddance to Kamala Harris.  [Scroll down]  Harris is a woman who, if successful ("successful"), would have overseen the mass confiscation of millions of firearms, the seizing of patents, the federalization of abortion law, and, depending on the polling, the elimination of (her word) the private health insurance plans of 180 million people.  Everything that is wrong with American politics is summed up in Kamala Harris.  She's a weather vane.  She's dishonest.  She's a coward.  She's condescending.  And she's a phony.  She's the answer to no useful or virtuous question.  Nothing good has come from her election.  She has nothing of value to offer America.  Goodbye.

Kamala Harris, the Juggernaut Who Flopped.  [Scroll down]  In January, Harris said she wanted to eliminate private health insurance, then backed away from that position.  In August, she said she wasn't comfortable with Bernie Sanders' legislation creating Medicare for All, but people pointed out she cosponsored that bill.  Harris said the country should consider allowing convicted felons to vote from prison, then said she opposed the idea. [...] Most of Harris's reversals suggest a campaigner who wanted to be the woke dream candidate, but then belatedly recognized that woke positions might not be as popular or workable as she initially believed them to be.  She was asking people to have faith in her judgment, while she herself appeared to not trust her own judgment.

Harris is gone.  Good riddance to a lying, hypocritical authoritarian.  Harris, a former prosecutor in San Francisco and attorney general of California, had performed swimmingly in one of the two Democratic debate sessions held in late June.  She made a real impression by taking former Vice President Joe Biden down a notch.  Although she carefully avoided using the word, she insinuated that Biden's erstwhile opposition to federally mandated busing made him a racist.  This was exactly what the voters in today's ever-more extreme and uber-woke Democratic primary wanted to hear.  Harris's support swelled in the weeks that followed; two polls showed her in second place nationally, at 17% and 20%.  But then came that July 31 debate. [...]

Kamala Harris's staff quits and tells media her campaign is a disaster.  While the field of Democrats running for the party's presidential nomination contains some seriously scorn-worthy politicians, Kamala Harris is the worst of the lot when it comes to dishonesty, hypocrisy, and a willingness to say or do anything to advance her career.  When she launched her campaign with a rally in Oakland, I was worried about the organizational capabilities that brought a claimed 20,000 people to downtown Oakland to cheer her on toward the White House.  A woman who began her political career by sexually servicing a decades' older powerful male politician who bestowed public office on her should not get anywhere near the Oval Office as its tenant.

Harris aide, in resignation letter, says 'I have never seen an organization treat its staff so poorly'.  A top aide to Kamala Harris gave a damning assessment of the California senator's struggling campaign in her resignation letter, declaring that she has never seen an organization "treat its staff so poorly" and accused the campaign of encouraging people to move across states — only to lay them off without notice.  "This is my third presidential campaign and I have never seen an organization treat its staff so poorly," Kelly Mehlenbacher, then the state operations director for Harris' campaign, said in the letter obtained by The New York Times.  "While I still believe that Senator Harris is the strongest candidate to win in the General Election in 2020, I no longer have confidence in our campaign or its leadership."

Kamala Harris' 2020 campaign is falling apart from the inside: report.  Sen. Kamala Harris' once-promising White House bid is rapidly unraveling — with her outgoing state operations director slamming the treatment of staff in a blistering resignation letter that claims "morale has never been lower," a new report reveals.  Facing dwindling funds and tumbling polling numbers, the 55-year-old in recent weeks has laid-off swathes of staff in the run-up to the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries in a bid to revive her struggling 2020 bid.  But a New York Times investigation published Friday [11/29/2019] alleges the Harris campaign is internally imploding.  Former and current campaign staff have broken ranks to claim Harris and her closest advisers lack focus and have failed to identify states and issues to campaign on.

Kamala Harris, the $6 million candidate, proudly tells us she's never had a non-government job.  All the rest of us who somehow managed to work in the private sector, are tainted.  The private sector is dirty, see, and anyone who's ever worked in it is motivated by filthy lucre.  Only she is "pure."

Watch: Kamala Harris Puts On Southern-Fried Accent for Single Debate Question.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), who was born in Oakland, California, and grew up in Berkeley, broke into her campaign-trail southern accent for just one question during Wednesday's 2020 Democrat presidential debate in Atlanta, Georgia.  The odd moment occurred as Harris, who is polling in single digits nationally, explained how she would unite the "Obama coalition" to win the White House.

Kamala Harris's campaign slides into chaos.  Kamala just keeps sliding further and further downward, and when you're at one percent in the polls, there isn't much left.  Which is a fitting ending for the Democratic field's most obnoxiously phony of all candidates.

Kamala Harris' Campaign In Free Fall, ABC Blames 'America'.  As Sen. Kamala Harris' (D-CA) campaign for her party's presidential nomination continues to implode, some in the media are looking for answers.  ABC News shot first, asking if Harris "proof that America isn't ready for a woman of color as president?"  The article began with quotes from Harris making the argument herself.  She had previously spoken about her "electability" several times, and in May she went ahead and wondered whether "America was ready for a woman and a woman of color to be president of the United State of America."  She made the claim on "The View."  This statement set her up with the tired and ready-made excuse in case she lost the primary:  It's because America is racist and misogynist.

Kamala Harris, polling at 3 percent, hearing calls for campaign manager's resignation.  Sen. Kamala Harris, whose campaign cut staff in a dramatic restructuring last month, is now polling at just 3 percent, tying her with Michael Bloomberg for fifth place among the Democratic Party's presidential nominees — according to a poll released Friday [11/15/2019] — even though Bloomberg hasn't even formally announced his 2020 candidacy.  And now Harris may be facing another problem:  A second report Friday described internal strife at Harris' Baltimore campaign headquarters, with several aides calling for campaign manager Juan Rodriguez's resignation [...]

Kamala Harris Campaign Collapses Under Perception of Law and Order.  When President Donald Trump was elected in 2016, Kamala Harris appeared to hold the pole position to challenge him in 2020.  And yet, three short years later, she has already conceded New Hampshire, is polling even worse in Iowa, and is at 4.5% nationally.  Even in her home state of California, she is back from the front pack.  This has been the biggest surprise of the Democrat primary, since she started from such an apparent position of strength.  On paper, she is an intersectional Democrat dream candidate with her mixed Indian and black heritage.  She is also brutally liberal at a time when the Democrat base is pining for liberal purity.  While she may not identify as a pure socialist in the way Bernie Sanders does, she is cut from similar cloth.  That's why the leftist media loved her.  They recognized one of their own.

Kamala Harris proposes incentives for schools to extend school days by three hours.  Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., introduced legislation on Wednesday that would incentivize school districts to extend school days as a way of accommodating parents' work schedules.  The program would offer five-year, $5 million grants for schools to "develop high-quality, culturally relevant, linguistically accessible, developmentally appropriate academic, athletic or enrichment opportunities for students."

The Editor says...
Obviously this is an incremental step toward a complete 24/7 usurpation of parental rights.  It is also a political payback to the teachers' unions.  And what does "linguistically accessible" mean?  I suspect it means the proposed day care program won't include a word of English.

The real reason Kamala Harris is tanking.  California Sen. Kamala Harris' bid for the Democratic presidential nomination is imploding even before President Trump could think up an insulting nickname for her.  Once regarded as the Democrats' best hope to take down Trump, Harris has seen her polls collapse, her donations tumble, and her campaign in shambles.  She claims her woes show that the country is just "not ready for a woman of color" to be president.  This is rot.  What the country is not ready for is another cynical and self-serving bully-in-chief who, in her case, is masquerading as a progressive.

Kamala Harris Crumbling in New Hampshire, Closing Three Offices to 'Go All-In on Iowa'.  Sen. Kamala Harris's (D-CA) campaign is laying off campaign staff and closing three offices in New Hampshire, a crucial early primary state, as part of its effort to go "all-in on Iowa," according to reports.  Harris's campaign will no longer have a heavy presence in New Hampshire, reportedly laying off campaign staff and closing offices in Nashua, Portsmouth, and Keene, in order to focus entirely on Iowa.  While Harris's office in Manchester will remain open, WMUR confirmed that it will be "scaled down."

Whither Kamala Harris?  A Failed-State Senator's Failing Campaign.  The junior senator from California, Kamala Harris, is laying off dozens of campaign staffers and redirecting most of her dwindling resources to Iowa.  In recent polls, Harris has cratered to just 3 percent, falling behind Hawaii congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.  Harris memorably slighted Gabbard after a July debate.  "I'm obviously a top-tier candidate," she explained.  "There are a lot of people that are trying to make the stage for the next debate. ... Especially when some people are at zero or 1 percent, whatever she [Gabbard] might be at."

The Editor says...
What atrocious grammar!  She went to law school?

Kamala Harris fires dozens of campaign staff in desperate bid to keep her 2020 run alive.  Sen. Kamala Harris' campaign is laying off dozens of staff members as she seeks to inject new life into her presidential bid, which is struggling in the polls and facing money problems as she goes all-in in Iowa.  The California senator, who had a breakout moment in the first presidential debate and hoped to capitalize on an advantage in the Golden State, now finds herself paring down her team and seeking to reconfigure a smaller-scale effort focused on the first caucus state.

Kamala Harris' petty response to successful al-Baghdadi mission speaks volumes.  Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., may want to chalk up her ongoing drop in the polls to a prejudice nation, but the real reason she's sinking like a rock may be found in a petty, even pretentious response to the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.  In an appearance on NBC's "Late Night," Harris scolded President Donald Trump for his "extraordinary" press conference announcing the success of the mission, saying he acted like he was commenting on a video game.

Petulant:
Kamala Throws a Hissy Fit And Cancels an Appearance... Because Trump Received an Award.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) was set to speak at a criminal justice forum at Benedict College, a traditionally black college in Columbia, South Carolina, but decided to cancel.  Her reason?  She was upset the college recognized President Donald Trump for the FIRST STEP Act.  The bi-partisan piece of legislation reduces prison sentences for non-violent offenses, like drug felonies, and allows inmates to receive "good time credit" when they participate in educational and/or training programs that prepare them for life outside prison.

Kamala Harris on Killing Babies in Abortions:  "We Need to Declare It a Priority".  Kamala Harris is an ardent abortion activist — no pro-life voter could be addlepated about that.  But Harris wants to make sure Democrat presidential primary voters know she's staunchly in favor of aborting as many babies as possible, right up to birth.  Harris is so pro-abortion she just told an audience that killing babies in abortions is something that should be declared "a priority."  Naturally, Harris wrapped this horrific reality in language about so-called "reproductive rights."

Kamala Harris campaign crashing and burning in Iowa, her top priority.  Kamala Harris's presidential campaign has been a disaster for her and may even damage her political career prospects beyond 2020.

Kamala Harris Asks Town Hall Audience If America 'Ready' For Her Presidency.  Crowd Shouts 'No!'  As any good lawyer knows, you never ask a question to which you do not know the answer.  Harris doesn't even appear as if she'll do well in her own state.

Once-Relevant Candidate Appears on Cover of Once-Relevant Magazine.  Senator Kamala Harris's (D., Calif.) days are numbered as even a minimally relevant contender in the 2020 Democratic primary.  That might be why Time magazine, a formerly relevant publication, decided to feature the notoriously ruthless former attorney general on its cover — before it is too late.

Kamala Harris:  Trump Should Be Suspended From Twitter — His Words Could Result in Harm to People.  Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) said Monday night [9/30/2019] on CNN that President Donald Trump should be suspended from Twitter for threats to the whistleblower and tweeting Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) should be arrested for treason.  Harris said, "Frankly, when you look at what he's been tweeting today, directed at the whistleblower, directed at so many people, I frankly, think that based on this and all we've seen him do before, including attacking members of Congress that frankly his Twitter account should be suspended."

Hearings Expose How Kamala Harris Used Prosecutorial Power To Benefit Abortion Businesses That Support Her Campaigns.  More than four years ago, former California attorney general Kamala Harris launched an investigation into the work of citizen journalists and abortion activists David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt, who discovered Planned Parenthood's trafficking of aborted baby body parts. [...] Not only was the district attorney's office unable to produce evidence of probable cause, however, it instead became increasingly clear that the charges were not brought forth based on a real case but as part of a political prosecution on behalf of Planned Parenthood.  Cross examination of witnesses, abortionists, and investigators revealed not just admissions of the violent crimes Daleiden set out to expose with his undercover videos in question, but that this is a textbook example of corporate donors and corrupt politicians ignoring civil liberties and using their power to prey upon political opponents.

Iowa or bust:  Kamala Harris' last gambit to save presidential run.  Sen. Kamala D. Harris hit the panic button Thursday on her free-falling campaign, announcing an Iowa-or-bust strategy that she hopes will put her on an Obama-like glide to the nomination.  She also raised the stakes by vowing to quit the race if she can't muster a win, place or show in the Hawkeye State's leadoff caucuses Feb. 3.

Implosion: Kamala Harris now polling below Andrew Yang in her home state of California.  Apparently, even leftists know a phony when they see one.  What else can be concluded from a new Emerson poll which reports that Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris's support has cratered in her home state of California, falling behind that of even eccentric businessman Andrew Yang.

The Editor says...
No, the leftists do not "know a phony when they see one."  They elected Barack H. Obama (a/k/a Barry Soetoro) twice.

Kamala Harris Stammers Her Way Through Tonight Show Interview.  FALLON:  "What was Kamala Harris like in college?"  HARRIS:  "Oh, well — um — and, um, I worked at McDonald's one summer. (...)

Kamala Harris wants Kavanaugh impeached after newly surfaced sexual misconduct accusation.  The report of a new sexual misconduct allegation against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has sparked fury among figures on both the left and right.  In a Sunday morning [9/15/2019] tweet, President Donald Trump accused the "LameStream Media" and Democrats of colluding to scare Kavanaugh "into turning Liberal."  And on the left, Democratic presidential candidates former HUD Secretary Julián Castro, former Rep. Beto O'Rourke, and U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Kamala Harris of California called for Kavanaugh's impeachment.

New Book:  Christine Blasey Ford's Friend Leland Keyser Doesn't Believe Her.  Buried at the end of their new book "The Education of Brett Kavanaugh:  An Investigation," reporters Robin Pogebrin and Kate Kelly quietly admit that Christine Blasey Ford's lifelong friend Leland Keyser did not believe her friend's tale of a sexual assault at a party they both supposedly attended.  Keyser was named by Ford as a witness, one of four who denied any knowledge of the event in question.  The book offers no evidence in support of the allegations made by Christine Blasey Ford, but, they write, their "gut reaction" was that her allegations "rang true."  Their "gut" instinct was based on the fact that Blasey Ford and Kavanaugh grew up in the same rough area and she had dated one of his friends.  Further, Leland Keyser had gone out on a date — maybe even two dates, they're not sure — with a friend of Kavanaugh's.  "None of that means that Ford was, in fact, assaulted by Kavanaugh," they write, "But it does mean that she has a baseline level of credibility as an accuser."  It is unclear what they mean.

The Editor says...
Two political activists have a "gut reaction" that an allegation "rang true," and without any further deliberation, that's enough to get a Democrat U.S. Senator to call for the impeachment of a Supreme Court Justice.

Democratic Candidates Want To Punish Energy Companies To Satisfy Left-Wing Nuts.  Democratic presidential candidates have gone so far off the rails that they are now even fabricating their records to promote policies so far to the left that they are at odds with many former top Obama Administration officials.  Last week, Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) lied and said she sued Exxon Mobil when she was California's attorney general.  In reality, she did not sue Exxon — she only investigated the oil company.  While this demonstrates Harris's loose relationship with the truth, it does show she thinks it's good to sue Exxon and other energy companies.  Harris supports climate litigation, even if she hasn't pushed it herself.  Climate litigation aims to punish energy companies for the sake of the environment.  These lawsuits don't actually help the environment, but they do waste taxpayer dollars on behalf of politicians' ambitions, and enrich plaintiff attorneys.

Harris Agrees With Salon Editor on Police Officers:  They 'Just Harass and Take Up Space In Poor Communities'.  Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif.) acknowledged Salon's editor-at-large D. Watkins was "right" about police officers after he claimed "they just harass and take up space in poor communities."  Harris's campaign released a 31-minute campaign video on Monday [9/9/2019] that included Harris speaking with black leaders about the U.S. criminal justice system.  Near the beginning of the video, Watkins criticized police officers and their role in poor communities.

Kamala Harris proposes legalizing marijuana, ending bail, eliminating death penalty.  Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris unveiled a proposal Monday to broadly reform the criminal justice system aimed at ending mass incarceration, helping felons reintegrate into society and increasing oversight of police and prosecutors.  The senator and former California attorney general plans to legalize marijuana, eliminate the death penalty for federal crimes, end federal mandatory minimum sentencing, scrap the cash-bail system, reduce the incarceration of juveniles, stop the use of private prisons and clear the nationwide rape kit backlog during her first term.

Pro-Abortion Kamala Harris Tells Trump Admin: 'A Society Is Judged Based On How It Treats Children'.  Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris tweeted Thursday [9/5/2019] that "society is judged based on how it treats children," but the California senator has also said she wants to "protect every woman's constitutional right to abortion."  Harris re-tweeted a Bloomberg article Thursday that criticized President Donald Trump's "policy of separating migrant children from their families" resulting in minors suffering "fear, post-traumatic stress and other mental health problems," which cites a watchdog.  She captioned the tweet warning the Trump administration that it will be judged harshly for how it treats children.

Kamala Harris wants to ban plastic straws but says paper straws [are] too 'flimsy'.  Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., said Wednesday [9/4/2019] during a CNN climate change forum that the U.S. should ban plastic straws while answering a question about curbing the country's reliance on single-use plastics.  But Harris also said she wants to "encourage innovation" around paper straws that break too often.  "I think we should, yes.  I mean.  Look, I'm going to be honest.  It's really difficult out of — drink out of a paper straw — like, if you don't gulp it down immediately, it starts to bend, and then the little thing catches it," Harris says, making a snapping motion with her hands and laughing.

The Editor says...
When a politician has to announce, "I'm going to be honest," that's an indication that honesty is unusual.

Stone-Age Democrats Are Crazy With the Heat.  How these reckless clowns could persuade even 10 percent of voters to support them in a general election is a disturbingly sad commentary on the state of our electorate.  Each candidate was more ridiculous than the next.  It was a painful spectacle to endure.  Kamala Harris seemed to realize how ridiculous she sounded when she said she would favor banning plastic straws.  Saying something has to be done, she descended into inane laughter about the difficulty in using paper straws.  Seriously?  This is what animates them today?

Harris fibs:  I sued ExxonMobil over climate change, you know.  Actually, Kamala Harris didn't even get close to the truth in this answer at CNN's climate-change forum last night.  And unlike Joe Biden's bleeding eyeball, CNN actually noticed it in a fact check.  When challenged by a voter about how she would "rein in these disinformation campaigns of big business," Harris said she already had a track record of suing companies over climate change — especially ExxonMobil, the giant oil company: [...]

Attorney General Kamala Harris Was Even Worse Than You Think.  Anyone interested in justice was entitled to feel a Chris Matthews thrill up their leg when Tulsi Gabbard went after Kamala Harris for her record as state attorney general at the Detroit debate.  Gabbard pointed out that as California's AG, Harris refused to allow DNA testing that would've exonerated a death-row inmate and prosecuted over a thousand marijuana cases — though as a candidate she later laughed with a radio host about her own pot smoking past.  But that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Harris's tenure.

Kamala Harris Tanks with Non-White Voters.  Democrat presidential contender Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) is collapsing in national polling, including with non-white voters.  After a disastrous six weeks, Harris is once again a third-tier candidate, right along with two other media creations:  former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) and South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.  For a short time, after the first Democrat debate, Harris surged into the top tier.  Her well-rehearsed and well-executed attack on frontrunner Joe Biden on the issue of race and busing lifted her into double-digits.

Kamala Harris slammed for 'politicizing' Philadelphia standoff.  Sen. Kamala Harris faced criticism Wednesday [8/14/2019] for promoting her campaign's gun control plan during an appearance on CNN that coincided with breaking news about the police standoff in Philadelphia in which six officers were shot.  "When will it stop?" the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate from California asked CNN's Wolf Blitzer when he asked for her reaction to the initial reports of the shooting.  "And I stress initial reports," Blitzer added.  As Harris related details of her plan, information about the ongoing standoff was still sketchy.  Social media was quick to deride the presidential candidate for "politicizing" the developing situation before most of the relevant facts were known.

The Editor says...
One of the relevant facts was that the shooter was a black man with a long criminal history who should have been locked up long ago.  That's probably not the kind of politicization Ms. Harris had in mind.

Kamala Harris Says She's Willing To Have Police Forcibly Take "Banned" Guns From Your Home.  They're not coming for your guns, we're told.  No, they are, and at least California Senator Kamala Harris is fully willing to send police to your home to take your guns from you.  According to the Washington Examiner, when asked if Harris would send law enforcement to homes to seize banned firearms, Harris answered in the affirmative.

Kamala Harris [is] willing to send [police] to people's homes to confiscate banned firearms.  California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris gave details about her gun control proposals in the wake of the deadly El Paso, Texas shooting after she addressed union members at the AFSCME forum at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas on Saturday [8/3/2019].  When asked by the Washington Examiner if her plan would include legal gun owner databases or gun confiscation via law enforcement visits to residents who own banned firearms, she replied, "I'm actually prepared to take executive action to put in place rules that improve this situation."

Presidency Inc..  Kamala Harris is a first-term senator adept at the 'clap-back,' not an especially coveted skill when it comes to commanding a military, and beyond that is known for little except the vast numbers of people she's thrown in prison.

Kamala Harris: 'Babies Will Be Born into Our Plan,' but Plan Allows Free Abortions.  Democrat 2020 contender Sen. Kamala Harris (CA) said during the Democrat debate Wednesday [7/31/2019] that her Medicare for All health plan would start up quickly and that "babies will be born into our plan," but her plan would also allow free abortions at taxpayer expense. [...] Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser said Harris's plan is "yet another example of Democrats' extremism on abortion."  "The latest call for taxpayer-funded abortion on demand through birth under Medicare for All might please the Democrats' most radical pro-abortion base in the primaries," she added, "but this agenda is wildly unpopular with the American people."

Kamala Harris Must Think Voters Are Pretty Dumb.  After going back and forth and back and forth about whether she would eliminate private insurance and shove every American into Medicare, Kamala Harris thinks she's found a solution.  Shove everyone into Medicare, but do it a little more slowly and pretend that private insurers will still be involved.  No doubt the Democratic California senator is reading the same polls as everyone else.  Namely, that the public thinks it likes "Medicare for All" until it learns what it means.  Then support evaporates.  But Harris still wants to appeal to the Democrats' increasingly socialist base.

U.S. presidential hopeful Harris would spend $60 billion on historically black colleges.  Democratic presidential hopeful Kamala Harris will unveil a plan on Friday [7/26/2019] to invest $60 billion in historically black colleges and universities if elected, the latest effort by the U.S. senator from California to reach out to black voters.

Kamala Harris Blasts, and Takes Money from, Jeffrey Epstein's Law Firm.  Kamala Harris bemoaned the influence of the powerful and connected elite last Tuesday when she called on top Justice Department officials to recuse themselves from any matter related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Kamala Harris's Distinguished Career of Serving Injustice.  [Scroll down]  These cases are not isolated examples of Harris's less-than-progressive record as a prosecutor.  "Time after time, when progressives urged her to embrace criminal justice reforms as a district attorney and then the state's attorney general, Ms. Harris opposed them or stayed silent," University of San Francisco School of Law Professor Lara Bazelon wrote in a New York Times article titled, "Kamala Harris Was Not a 'Progressive Prosecutor.'" Bazelon added, "Most troubling, Ms. Harris fought tooth and nail to uphold wrongful convictions that had been secured through official misconduct that included evidence tampering, false testimony and the suppression of crucial information by prosecutors."

Can a serious Democrat please run for president?  Let's begin with Sen. Kamala Harris, who received a lot of attention for her debate performance on June 27.  As an act of political theatrics, her confrontation with former Vice President Joe Biden over the latter's opposition to federally mandated busing of students to desegregate school districts during the 1970s was the undisputed highlight of the opening two-night Democratic debate.  It was a gripping performance.  But it was also absurd.  Is anyone — including Harris herself — in favor of reviving busing as a federal policy?  Is there any evidence that such a policy is less polarizing in 2019 than it was in the mid-1970s, when it helped to conjure out of thin air that historically decisive electoral demographic known as the Reagan Democrat?  The answer to both questions is no.

Spot the racists in the Democrats' president field.  Is Democratic presidential candidate, Kamala Harris a racist because she has proposed a $100-billion housing subsidy only for people of color?  Even if they earn as much as $125K a year or more than twice the U.S. household median income of $60,336 in 2017.  Not since the passage of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1868 has the federal government passed a race-based financial subsidy.  Since at least the 1860s, federal funds have been colorblind and have given to all based on need as defined by income, not race.  Providing funds based on race is, of course, unconstitutional, but lawyer and former state attorney general Harris does not care.  She is trying to prove she can compete in the socialist giveaway of your and our children's money.  She is trying to prove she is the blackest black in the room.

Whites need not apply.
Kamala Harris proposes $100 billion plan for black homeownership.  Kamala Harris, calling on the nation to "deal with the racial wealth gap," on Saturday [7/6/2019] proposed a $100 billion federal program to help black people buy homes.  The California senator said the plan, which would provide down payment and closing cost assistance of up to $25,000 to people renting or living in historically red-lined communities, would help some 4 million home-buyers.

Ritual Suicide of the Democratic Party.  [Scroll down]  From Obamaphones to Harrishouses.  Obviously the government can't say openly that it is discriminating against whites, Asians and Hispanics by offering $25,000 only to black individuals or families.  Harris's transparent workaround is to limit eligibility to "historically red-lined communities."  I have no opinion, offhand, on whether that dodge could pass constitutional muster, but in any event, there is zero chance of it being enacted.

The Lost Left.  [Kamala] Harris might have seized the title of Panderer-in-Chief over the weekend when, on Saturday [7/6/2019], she spoke at the Essence Festival in New Orleans and proposed $100 billion in grants for black people to put down payments on houses — an idea so blatantly racist and unconstitutional as to offend the senses before one even gets into the cruel and brutally deficient economics that underlie it.  Harris doesn't sport a sequined cowboy hat as Wilson does, which means she doesn't mark herself as an imbecile before subjecting an audience to her ideas.  But if she's the best the Democrats have for the presidential race next year, they're in far worse shape than cooked-up polls and MSNBC cheerleading will lead them to believe.

Kamala Harris stars as 2020 presidential candidates pitch African American voters at Essence Fest.  Some of the top rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination appeared at Essence Fest in New Orleans on Saturday [7/6/2019].  But as Democratic presidential candidates lined up for the chance to appeal directly to black women — which candidates have increasingly seen as a critical voting block — there was little doubt the main attraction was Kamala Harris.

Sen. Kamala Harris: 'We Have a Predator Living in the White House'.  Speaking to supporters at a town hall in Des Moines, Iowa, sponsored by NARAL Pro-Choice America on Wednesday, Sen. Kamala Harris called President Donald Trump "a predator."  As a prosecutor, Harris said she successfully prosecuted "big banks who preyed on homeowners, prosecuted pharmaceutical companies who preyed on seniors, prosecuted transnational criminal organizations who preyed on women and children, and I will tell you, we have a predator living in the White House."

Kamala Harris may live to regret exposing her ruthlessness with bogus busing attack on Biden.  Kamala Harris is scary in her pathological ambition, moral flexibility, comfort with deception, and sheer ruthlessness.  She may have erred in prematurely exposing those traits in the very first round of Democrat presidential debates, allowing her competitors to recognize the threat she poses to all of them, and to formulate appropriate countermeasures.

Kamala Harris is the most cynical and dishonest 2020 Democrat — and it just might work.  Most recently, Harris has surged toward the top of the crowded Democratic field after a masterful debate performance in which she seemingly took two bold stands: backing the elimination of private health insurance and supporting federally mandated busing.  On healthcare, she obfuscated the next morning, retreating to her red herring position that emphasizes allowing for private "supplemental" coverage.  In reality, the plan would kick 180 million people off of their current private insurance plans and place them on a single government-run plan, and would only allow insurers to offer benefits not on the government plan.  But the government plan promises comprehensive medical, dental, optical, and prescription drug coverage, so in reality there would be effectively no role for private insurance.

Kamala Harris Has A Bigger Problem Than Forced Busing.  [Scroll down]  Harris climbing out on limbs is part of an underlying pattern of high-risk publicity-seeking.  For example, during the confirmation hearings for Justice Brett Kavanaugh, she raised her profile by asking the nominee:  "Have you discussed the Mueller investigation with anyone at Kasowitz Benson Torres, the law firm founded by Marc Kasowitz, President Trump's personal lawyer?  Be sure about your answer, sir."  Harris grilled Kavanaugh about this for at least five minutes.  It was as dramatic and as empty as Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone's vault; if Harris had any evidence of Kavanaugh talking to Trump's lawyers, she never produced it.

San Francisco vs.  Frisco.  Sen. Kamala Harris leaped upward in the polls by denouncing Joe Biden for opposing racial school busing in the 1970s, citing how she was bused in Berkeley as a child. [...] Ironically, Harris' old Berkeley school district has today, despite its high level of integration, the worst test-score racial gap in the United States, with its median black student testing at only the fifth percentile of its white students.

Kamala 2020 Makes Obama 2008 Look Positively Right Wing.  With the first primary still eight long months away, making any sort of prediction about the Democratic candidates is pointless.  Nevertheless, some have noticed an interesting parallel shaping up, one that involves an old Democrat with plenty of establishment backing and a formidable lead in the polls, and a young, biracial newcomer with a winning smile and an exotic first name.  Except that where Barack Obama tried to portray himself as a sensible centrist in 2008, Sen. Kamala Harris is among the most radical in the large crop of far-left Democratic candidates hoping to run against President Trump.

When Will Race-Baiting Kamala Harris Acknowledge She Is A Descendent Of A Slave Owner?  Last week, at the Democratic debate in Miami, Presidential candidate Sen. Kamala [D-CA] stirred up a racial hornet's nest against former Vice President Joe Biden for his past pandering to segregationist senators decades ago.  "I do not believe you are a racist and I agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance of finding common ground," Harris said, publicly chastising Biden at last week's debate, "but it's personal and it was hurtful to hear you talk about the reputations of two United States Senators who built their reputations and career on the segregation of race in this country."  Harris' months-in-the-making, made-for-TV attack on Biden is largely seen as an attempt to lure black voters away from the Democratic frontrunner and to tarnish his image.  To date, however, no one has asked Harris about her own Jamaican family tree, which reportedly goes back to Jamaican plantation and slave owner Hamilton Brown.

Kamala Harris campaign lawyer hired Fusion GPS for Hillary Clinton.  The former top lawyer for Hillary Clinton's failed presidential campaign who hired Fusion GPS to carry out controversial opposition research against then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016 is now working for a top 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful.  Marc Elias, who heads Perkins Coie's political law group, became general counsel for California Sen. Kamala Harris' presidential bid this year.  Elias, who held the same position in Clinton's campaign, is named in two pending Federal Election Commission complaints and in a recent federal lawsuit alleging that the Clinton campaign broke campaign finance laws when it used Perkins Coie to hire Fusion GPS.

Kamala Harris:  I Will Not Let Trump Take America Back to Before Same-Sex Marriage Was Legal.  On Sunday MSNBC played a clip from the Alice B. Toklas Club Annual Pride Breakfast in San Francisco in which 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) said she was running for president so President Donald Trump could not take the country back before all couples could marry.  Harris said, "The current occupant of the White House has no appreciation, no interest clearly and probably no knowledge of this history, of this work."

Harris faces debate backlash.  Kamala Harris might be reveling in her sudden burst of attention after roasting Joe Biden over racial issues on the debate stage last week, but a backlash is already brewing.  Biden supporters and Democrats who have attended the former vice president's events in the days after the first nationally televised debate, are describing Harris' assault on Biden as an all-too-calculated overreach after she knocked him on his heels in a grilling over busing and his remarks on segregationist senators.

Rivals defend Kamala Harris against online attacks they compare to 'birtherism'.  A number of hopefuls for the Democratic nomination for president found common ground Saturday as they defended rival Sen. Kamala Harris against online allegations that she is not an "American Black."  Former Vice President Joe Biden, who clashed with Harris at Thursday's Democratic debate in Miami after she criticized his position five decades ago against school busing, said the social media attacks against the senator from California were clear echoes of "birtherism."  "Birtherism," promoted by some Republicans, including Donald Trump before he assumed the presidency, was a movement that denied former President Barack Obama was a natural-born U.S. citizen, implying he was ineligible to be president.

The Editor says...
Pursuit of the facts is not something to be demeaned.  Birtherism is a pejorative term that was used to silence anyone who investigated the sketchy biography of Barack H. Obama, who evidently was an Indonesian citizen at one point in his life.  Nobody wanted to hear the details of Obama's life from birth through college, because Obama was seen as a black trailblazer and hero, and thus immune to criticism.  If Ms. Harris is lying about her biography, let's find out now, rather than after she's elected.

Kamala Harris has the least defensible healthcare position of any Democratic candidate.  Kamala Harris was the big winner overall in Thursday night's debate, but she also managed to create more confusion over her healthcare position.  With her subsequent "clarification," she has staked out the least defensible ground of any of the 2020 Democratic candidates.  Most of the Democratic field can be divided into two camps.  There are those who are unapologetically in favor of ending private insurance that covers 180 million Americans and forcing everybody onto a single government-run plan, and those who believe in creating some sort of optional government-run plan while allowing people to maintain their current coverage.

About Kamala Harris and Busing.  [Kamala] Harris, attacking Joe Biden for having collaborated with segregationist Democrats in the Senate to oppose school busing, claimed that she was bused as a kid, in Berkeley, and it did her a world of good.  Or something like that.  Given the demography and geography of Berkeley at the time — she was 10 years old in 1974 — it seems highly unlikely that Harris, the daughter of two PhDs, one from India and one from Jamaica, was bused into a white school so she could escape the ghetto and mix with the children of educated parents.  But that isn't what strikes me most forcibly about this story. [...] What I think is most remarkable about this story is that the Democrats are now nostalgic for busing!  Joe Biden is a villain because he opposed it decades ago, while Harris is a heroine, or a martyr, or something, because she participated in it.

Kamala Harris Defends Mothers Paying Human Traffickers to Bring Their Daughters to US.  Democrats refuse to secure the border.  They refuse to care for suffering Americans.  They refuse to defend their country.  But they LOVE talking about bringing hundreds of thousands of poor illegal aliens into the US.  And they LOVE talking about all of the freebies they want to give illegal alien children.

School busing and race tore L.A. apart in the 1970s.  Now, Kamala Harris is reviving debate.  Few issues divided Los Angeles more in the 1970s than school desegregation and busing.  It sparked protests and political movements — and led to white families fleeing from the Los Angeles Unified School District.  These issues came back to life at the Democratic presidential debate.  In a heated exchange, Kamala Harris accused Joe Biden of not taking a morally correct position in favor of an assertive federal role in the busing of students to achieve integration.

Is Kamala Harris telling the truth about her Berkeley days?  Last night, Kamala Harris repeated her story about how, thanks to busing, she was able to be part of only the second class to integrate in the Berkeley public school system.  She used this story to thrash Joe Biden, who offered anti-busing legislation as a U.S. Senator in the 1970s. [...] However, according to Gateway Pundit, Harris went to school in Berkeley for only two years before moving with her mother to Canada where she attended grade school and high school.

Kamala Harris says she misinterpreted question on abolishing private insurance.  NBC's Lester Holt asked for the 10 candidates on stage to raise their hands if their health care plans would "abolish their private health insurance in favor of a government-run plan?"  Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Harris were the only two candidates who put their hands up, but Harris said Friday [6/28/2019] she does not support getting rid of all private insurance.

The Editor says...
Ri-i-i-ight.  If you're new to politics, this is what's known as a flip-flop.  In future debates, perhaps the moderator should follow each question with, "Do you understand this question? — in the same tone of voice as, "Is that your final answer?"

On Father's Day, Kamala Harris Compares Military Dads to Illegal Aliens and Criminals.  Democratic Party presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (CA) posted Father's Day greetings to Twitter on Sunday comparing deployed military fathers who are away from their children on Father's Day to illegal aliens and accused criminals.  Harris listed them in presumed order of dearness to her heart, putting US military dads third behind first-in-her heart illegal aliens and accused criminals who can't make bail.

Kamala's Promise to End Right-to-Work Would Make Every State Like California.  Democratic presidential candidate and California Sen. Kamala Harris has said that if she's elected, she would issue an executive order to rescind hard-won worker freedom.  Maybe it's a "California value" to support conscripted unionism.  But before Harris' position becomes too hardened to walk back, she should consider how reforms would benefit workers in her home state.

Kamala Harris launched [her] political career with [a] $120K 'patronage' job from boyfriend Willie Brown.  Kamala Harris' first significant political role was an appointment by her powerful then-boyfriend Willie Brown, three decades her senior, to a California medical board that has been criticized as a landing spot for patronage jobs and kickbacks.  Then 30, Harris was dating 60-year-old Willie Brown, at the time the Democratic speaker of the California State Assembly, when he placed her on the California Medical Assistance Commission in 1994.  The position paid over $70,000 per year, $120,700 in current money, and Harris served on the board until 1998.

The Democrat Puff Piece Challenge.  Yes, the Democrats like to humanize their candidates, and why not?  Many if not most people vote on emotion, an imagined sense of connection. [...] Enter Kamala Harris.  When asked, she was unable to name her three favorite songs — big old brain freeze — perhaps because she hadn't formulated the perfect answer beforehand.  Then again, she claimed to have smoked weed in college while head-nodding to Snoop Dogg and Tupac, although neither had released an album by the time she graduated.  Must have been some good weed to make her hear songs from the future.

Harris Proposes Penalizing Corporate Profits to Eliminate Gender Pay Gap.  Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is proposing companies "pay" a hefty "price" for supposed wage disparities between men and women.  On Monday [5/20/2019], Harris's campaign unveiled a proposal to eliminate the gender pay gap.  Billed "as the most aggressive equal pay proposal in history," Harris's plan would require companies to apply for "equal pay certification" through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).  To receive certification, companies with more than 100 employees would be required to disclose compensation data showing no existing wage disparities between men and women for "work of equal value."

Kamala Harris Wants To Ban AR-15s With Executive Order.  Before she was a United States Senator, Kamala Harris was the attorney general for the state of California.  She's an attorney, like so many other legislators.  She studied and worked in the profession people approach for clarification on the laws of this great nation of ours.  Apparently, she managed to get to that point without ever attending a single civics class.  In the presidential hopeful's latest effort, she's decided that in her quest to dictate gun control by fiat, she'll also go after AR-15s and other so-called "assault rifles."

Kamala Harris:  Medicare for All Includes Illegal Aliens.  Sen. Kamala Harris, now running for the Democrat presidential nomination, says people in this country illegally should have access to public safety, public education, and public health — "period."  Harris, a guest on CNN's "State of the Union," said "I support Medicare for all.  It is my preferred policy." She said she supports the bill introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders.  Host Jake Tapper noted that Sanders' bill says, "'Every individual who's a resident of the United States is entitled to benefits for health care services under the Senate.'  Not every individual who's a citizen, but every individual who's a resident."

Kamala Harris Pledges to Criminalize Private Gun Sales via Executive Action.  Democrat presidential hopeful Kamala Harris says she will use executive action to criminalize selling more than five guns a year without a background check.  This follows a consistent Democrat-led push to criminalize all private gun sales via universal background checks.  On February 27, Breitbart News reported that the Democrat-run House passed legislation to require a background check for every gun sale, thus criminalizing someone who sells a gun to a decades-long neighbor without government approval.  It also criminalizes a friend who sells a gun to a lifelong friend without asking for government approval.

Kamala Harris does an Elizabeth Warren in the kitchen.  Kamala Harris has always had a problem with authenticity — dating from her political start at Willie Brown's knee, so to speak, to her claim that she went to a racism-infested Berkeley high school in the 1980s, to her claims to smoking pot as a 'Jamaican' thang, something her real Jamaican father publicly corrected her on.  Now she's stepped in it again, posing in an apron and pearls and perfect makeup to whip up some of her famous jerk chicken marinade in her kitchen for her husband's Twitter feed.

Kamala Harris is pivoting left and punching at Trump to widen her appeal.  Sen. Kamala Harris, the California Democrat and 2020 presidential candidate, is attempting to strike a difficult balance between appeasing progressive activists and appealing to more moderate Democrats as her poll numbers fall.  California's former attorney general, Harris has found vocal critics within the progressive community — particularly among criminal justice activists and public interest attorneys who take issue with much of her 25-year-long prosecutorial record.  In February, an LGBTQ rights attorney at the ACLU wrote a searing indictment of Harris' record as attorney general on issues concerning transgender prisoners and sex work.

The rude awakening creeping up on Kamala Harris.  Joe Biden has yet to formally declare his presidential bid, but he's already complicating Kamala Harris' path to victory in a must-win state:  South Carolina.  The pivotal early primary state is the linchpin of Harris' strategy to capture the Democratic nomination, yet the former vice president's experience, pragmatism and close association with former President Barack Obama have given him a significant advantage here — even more so than in other states, according to more than two dozen interviews with state operatives and elected leaders, as well as public and private polling.

Kamala Harris calls for third gender option on federal IDs.  Presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris says she supports putting a third gender option on federal identification cards.  The Democrat from California backed the idea when asked about it during a town hall Tuesday in the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state of New Hampshire.  "It's a simple point.  There needs to be another category.  And I'm open to the idea of doing that.  And I think that it's a good idea," Harris told Fox News and New Hampshire's Concord Monitor during an interview later in the day.

Democrats are still lost on gun control and presidential power.  In Monday's [4/22/2019] Democratic presidential town hall, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., [...] promised that if elected president, after giving Congress 100 days to "get their act together" and move gun control legislation, she will "take executive action" that slightly expands the universe of gun sales covered by background checks.  It is worth mentioning here, just briefly, that Congress' job includes frustrating presidential ambitions like this one, just like its job includes preventing bad wars from being fought or border walls from being funded.  How incredible that Democrats still haven't learned, not even with Trump in office, that it's unhealthy for presidents to circumvent Congress in such matters.

Kamala Harris Flip Flops On Voting Rights For Murderers And Rapists In Less Than 24 Hours.  On Monday night [4/22/2019] during a series of televised CNN town halls with several of the Democratic candidates for president, Sens. Kamala Harris (CA) and Bernie Sanders (VT) both made startling statements about the rights of violent felons to vote.  Sanders, whose home state of Vermont is one of only two in the nation to allow imprisoned felons to vote, stated unequivocally that he supported the right to vote for "even for terrible people" who were in prison.  When Harris was asked the same question in her town hall, she hedged a bit but ultimately ended up saying "I think we should have that conversation."

A dictator is waiting in the wings:
Harris: I'll 'Take Executive Action' if Congress Doesn't Pass Gun Legislation in First 100 Days.  During a town hall on CNN on Monday, 2020 presidential candidate Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) vowed that if Congress doesn't pass gun legislation within the first 100 days of her administration, she will "take executive action."  Harris said, "Upon being elected, I will give the United States Congress 100 days to get their act together and have the courage to pass reasonable gun safety laws, and if they fail to do it, then I will take executive action."

Moving toward the center?
2020 Democrat Kamala Harris: 'I am a gun owner ... for personal safety'.  Sen. Kamala D. Harris, a 2020 presidential hopeful, said while campaigning in Iowa on Thursday that she owns a gun for personal protection and distanced herself from some of the more radical gun control proponents in her party.  "I am a gun owner, and I own a gun for probably the reason a lot of people do — for personal safety," she told reporters, calling it a necessity given her profession.  "I was a career prosecutor," she said.

Sen. Kamala Harris Proposes Giving Families Making Less Than $100K, a $6K Tax Credit.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) in a speech to Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network on Friday proposed giving families making less than $100,000 a year a $6,000 tax credit which they can draw from each month.  "I have proposed what economists have described as what would be the largest tax cut in a generation for working families who make less than $100,000 a year," she said.  "What I have proposed would be for families that make less than $100,00 a year, they will receive a tax credit of up to $6,000 that they can collect at up to $500 a month."

The Editor says...
Why draw the lines right there?  Why set the limit at $100,000 and the payoff at $6,000?

Harris Donor's Past Raises Money-Influence Questions.  "My whole life," Kamala Harris told a crowd gathered in Oakland, Calif., for her presidential announcement, "I've only had one client:  the people."  The California progressive will soon deliver some iteration of that same message at a swank fundraiser hosted by Angelo Tsakopoulos, a multimillionaire with ties to corrupt politicians, a longtime patron of the Clinton family, a man who once bragged that staying in the Lincoln Bedroom was his proudest moment.  Harris will leave the campaign trail to headline the April 1 fundraiser hosted by Tsakopoulos in Sacramento.  The lieutenant governor and daughter of the real estate developer, Eleni Kounalakis, will also attend.  The dinner runs between $1,000 and $2,800 a plate, according to the Sacramento Bee.  And the meal raises an awkward question:  Are wealthy donors with questionable pasts a political liability in an increasingly progressive Democratic presidential primary?

What Got Into CBS? Hosts Grill Kamala Harris Over Paying for Things, Federalism.  The journalists at CBS This Morning are not, generally speaking, tough on Democrats, especially the 2020 presidential candidates.  When they offer tough questions, it's often from the left.  That's why it was so surprising on Tuesday [3/26/2019] to see the show's co-hosts grill Kamala Harris about the costs of her policy proposals and even the concept of federalism.  Harris this week announced a plan to give each teacher a $13,500 raise.  Rather than just fawn over the idea, co-host Bianna Golodryga wondered, "But the big question is how are you going to pay for it?" After the Democratic Senator dodged the question, co-host Gayle King asked it again:  "How did you come up with a figure of $13,500 and I'm still not sure how you're going to pay for it."

Why are 2020 Democrats so weird?  Last month Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif.) told a painfully obvious lie about listening to Snoop Dogg and Tupac while smoking weed in college (she graduated many years before either of them released their debut albums).  Even her own father told her to cut it out.

More Than 120,000 Californians of Color [were] Sent to Prison on Harris's Watch.  While serving as California's top cop, Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) oversaw the incarceration of at least 127,000 Black and Hispanic Californians, data obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show.  These data, based on reports from and a request to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), almost certainly undercount the total number of individuals who were sent to prison while Harris served as state attorney general.  Still, they reveal that at least 44,172 black offenders and 83,370 Hispanic offenders were newly admitted to California's prisons between 2011 and 2016, compared to 48,761 whites and 11,182 "other"-identified individuals.

Kamala Harris Says She Would Not Execute Someone for Committing Treason Against the United States.  In an interview broadcast yesterday by National Public Radio, Sen. Kamala Harris (D.-Calif.) said that she would not impose the death penalty on someone who committed treason against the United States.  Harris takes the position that the death penalty should never be used as punishment for any crime.

The genius of Elizabeth Warren.  Did you know that Kamala Harris is not a huge fan of President Trump's proposed border wall?  Oh, my yes.  And not only that.  She thinks that with his presidency we have arrived at "an inflection point in the history of our nation" and that "the American dream and our American democracy are under attack and on the line."  She is also — get this — against "leaders who bully."  The California senator's remarks at the January kick-off rally for her 2020 campaign were typical of what we have been hearing from Democrats with presidential ambitions: a lot of guff about unity and the power of love and the real magic that has been inside our hearts all along.  You can't blame Democrats for sticking to this sort of thing.  It's exactly what Barack Obama did in 2008, when he talked about "the fierce urgency of now" (as opposed to 500 years ago, I guess, which is hard to be urgent about even if you are a historian) and made some very grandiose and occasionally somewhat moving speeches.

How Kamala Harris dealt with a scandal as DA.  In 2010, a crime lab scandal rocked San Francisco's criminal justice system.  The city's district attorney at the time was Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), now a 2020 presidential candidate.  Michael Kranish reexamines the 2010 case, interviewing Harris on how she takes "full responsibility" for the failure and shedding light on how she might conduct herself in the White House.

If you miss Hillary Clinton, you're going to love Kamala Harris.  If you miss Hillary Clinton, then you're probably already swooning over Kamala Harris, the freshman senator from California who announced her candidacy for president on Martin Luther King Day.  She is expected to be one of the best financed and most formidable candidates in the large and growing field of Democrats seeking the nomination.  If you're not one of the odd people who hike the trails of Chappaqua hoping to catch a glimpse of the Dowager Empress but are wondering what to make of Harris, try this:  she will run as the slightly more charismatic, somewhat less corrupt Hillary Clinton, pantsuits and all.

Kamala Harris gains momentum among Democrats with proposal to legalize prostitution.  Decriminalizing prostitution — an idea gaining momentum among some Democrats, including at least one 2020 presidential contender — may one day be traced back to the hookers plying their trade under the elevated train along New York City's Roosevelt Avenue.  That open-air market of prostitutes and johns in Queens, undeterred by the constant threat of arrest and incarceration, has been cited by New York state lawmakers mulling whether it's time to wave the white flag in the war on the world's oldest profession.

More than a million paid out in California state sex harassment suits, and Kamala Harris recalls nothing.  Kamala Harris, who's running for president on a vehement #MeToo platform as a Democrat, sure has a lot of memory problems.  It's not just the $400,000 the state had to shell out based on the disgusting sex harassment behavior of her top lieutenant, Larry Wallace, her handpicked director for the division of law enforcement at the state attorney general's office, which is quite a whopper in itself.  It's the $700,000 in more California taxpayer payout money for the sex-harassing activities of her other lieutenants.  The Los Angeles Times reports that it did a search of public records and found that the total payout tally was $1.1 million.  I am going to assume that includes the $400,000 payout from Harris's wingman Wallace, although the report doesn't say.

Kamala Harris mischaracterizes San Francisco policy she backed that reported arrested undocumented juveniles to ICE.  Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris this week mischaracterized a 2008 policy she supported that led to undocumented minors who were arrested for suspected felonies being turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement before they had been convicted of crimes.  Speaking to an audience in Iowa Sunday on Political Party Live a podcast about Iowa politics, Harris was asked by host Misty Rebik about a CNN KFile report detailing Harris' public support for a citywide policy enacted by then-Mayor Gavin Newsom of reporting juvenile undocumented immigrants arrested by local police to ICE.  The decision revoked a previous policy of non-reporting.

Kamala Harris calls for decriminalizing sex work, insists Trump is racist.  Presidential candidate Kamala Harris made some bold statements in an interview on Tuesday, calling for the decriminalization of sex work and labeling President Trump a racist.  "When you're talking about consenting adults, I think that yes, we should really consider that we can't criminalize consensual behavior, as long as no one is being harmed," Senator Harris, D-Calif., told The Root.  "But at the point that anyone is being harmed or exploited, then we have to understand that's a different matter."

Kamala Harris Says The Country Needs A President Who Can Prosecute Trump.  Democratic California Sen. Kamala Harris said the U.S. needs a president who knows how to prosecute President Donald Trump, citing her former job as state attorney general Sunday [2/24/2019].  Harris, a 2020 presidential candidate, was in Bettendorf, Iowa, speaking to a group of supporters, when she said, "we're gonna need a fighter, and we're going to need somebody who knows how to prosecute the case against this president," pitching herself as the ideal candidate to defeat Trump in 2020 to the audience of around 500.

Kamala Harris Would Have Government 'Give Middle-Income Households Cash Payments of Up to $6,000 a Year'.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D.-Calif.) on Thursday night [2/21/2019] tweeted out a story by PBS News Hour that said her tax plan included a provision to give up to $6,000 per year in cash payments to middle-income households.  The PBS story was headlined:  "Why 2020 Democratic candidates are pushing more progressive tax proposals." [...] One paragraph in the story said:  "Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., is sticking by the tax plan she proposed last fall.  It would give middle-income households cash payments of up to $6,000 per family.  The payments would be offset by repealing the 2017 GOP tax cuts and creating a fee on large financial institutions."

Whiny feminism on display.  The race for the Democratic presidential nomination has barely commenced, but already Margaret Sullivan, the Washington Post's media columnist, is whining about "sexist" coverage of female candidates. [...] Sullivan notes that Kamala Harris' "long-ago love life has been parsed."  I assume she's referring to the story of her affair with Willie Brown, the then-married California power broker who got Harris appointed to two commissions.  Sullivan offers no explanation as to why this story should be off-limits.  Instead, she conceals the reason why it shouldn't be — the fact that the "love life" in question involved the most powerful figure in Bay Area, and arguably California, politics.  Is there any reason to believe that, if a male politician's rise had been aided by a powerful female lover, the media would ignore it?  Certainly not if the male politician were a Republican.

No, people sit in jail because they are criminals.
Sen. Kamala Harris: 'Poor People Sit in Jail Because They Don't Have Money to Pay Bail'.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D.-Calif.) sent out a Tweet on Monday [2/18/2019] calling for reform of the bail system because she says it causes poor people to remain in jail awaiting trial while a wealthy person charged with the same offense can get out on bail.  "It's long past time to address bail reform across the country," Harris tweeted.  "Too often, poor people sit in jail because they don't have the money to pay bail, while someone with the same offense but money in their pocket gets out.  "This is a serious injustice," said Harris.

Sen. Kamala Harris: 'It Needs to be Repeated:  Ripping Babies Away from Parents to Put Them in Cages is Inhumane'.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D.-Calif.) sent out a Tweet on Wednesday night [2/20/2019] featuring a video commentary by Dr. Arshya Vahabzadeh, a child psychiatrist at Massachusetts General Hospital, condemning the policy of separating the children of illegal aliens from their parents when they are caught crossing the border.  "The trauma these children experience will live on for decades to come," Harris said in her Tweet.  "It's absurd that it needs to be repeated:  ripping babies away from their parents to put them in cages is inhumane."

The Editor says...
Senator Harris presumably has no problem with "ripping babies away from their parents" in an abortion clinic.

Kamala Harris [was] Literally Speechless When Asked About Jussie Smollett Hoax.  She said it was a modern-day lynching; she said it without evidence; now that the evidence disproved her assumptions, she has nothing to say.  2020 presidential candidate Kamala Harris was literally speechless when confronted by reporters about recent revelations that "Empire" star Jussie Smollett may have staged a hate crime in order to allegedly gain attention.  Upon initially hearing about the alleged hate crime, Harris accepted it at face-value despite the obvious holes in Smollett's initial story.

Jussie Smollett:  A Case Study in Modern Liberalism.  The noose thing was a clever touch.  As my observant young colleague, Matt Miano, pointed out to me, Smollett was photographed approximately a year prior to his "noose attack" alongside Sen. Kamala Harris at a protest in Los Angeles.  Kamala Harris sponsored an "anti-lynching bill" in the Senate in late 2018 to make lynching a new federal crime.  The bill had always previously stalled in the Senate, because it was seen as an unnecessary political gimmick, meant to remind people of historical black oppression in the South.  Murdering people with a rope has always been a crime under state law.  In the wake of Smollett's faked "noose assault" in Chicago on Jan. 29, Harris's anti-lynching bill unanimously passed the Senate on Feb. 14.  Imagine that!  And who was one of the first Democratic luminaries to jump in with outrage and sympathy for poor Jussie Smollett following the alleged assault by the evil MAGA headdress-sporting bleach purveyors?  You guessed it.  Senator Kamala Harris.

Brit Hume Takes On NBC Reporter And Obama Adviser Over Kamala Harris Coverage.  Fox News Senior Political Analyst Brit Hume took issue with the way several reporters covered the Kamala Harris campaign — and defended himself when NBC's Kasie Hunt and former Obama adviser Ben Rhodes fired back.  It all began with a Saturday tweet from CBS political reporter Caitlin Huey-Burns, who posted a video of Harris trying on a rainbow-colored sequined jacket — apparently at the behest of CNN national political reporter Maeve Reston.

Democracy also dies in a boutique with Kamala Harris.  Sen. Kamala Harris, who's running for president, has quite a back-up crew for her photo ops as she campaigns in South Carolina.  The girls on the bus not only covered the news, they joined in the fun.  A video posted by CBS News political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns shows her press buddy CNN correspondent Maeve Reston picking out a new jacket for Harris, the star of the show, to try on in front of a mirror in a South Carolina boutique.  Squeals and giggles followed.  As Harris staged a shopping trip with the cameras on, the whole chick moment, politicians and press united, was captured by Reston's buddy on Twitter.  The women's vote is now assured!

Female 'Journalists' Go Clothes Shopping With 2020 Dem Hopeful Kamala Harris.  Female 'journalists' went shopping in South Carolina on Lady Street with 2020 Democrat darling Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) on Saturday and even helped her pick out a sequin jacket to buy.  CNN reporter Maeve Reston posted a video of Kamala Harris trying on the sequin jacket and bragged that fellow NBC reporter Ali Vitali named it the "Mardi Gras Jacket."

CNN: Clothes Shoppers for the Rich and Famous.  In 2016, Hillary was the candidate of the liberal press.  Who will be the anointed candidate next year?  Kamala Harris is a good bet.  She features Hillary's leftist politics along with a "minority" look, probably a requirement in the next Democratic nominee.  She is also considerably better looking than Hillary.  So the press loves Kamala Harris.  Can reporters take the affair too far?  This morning, Harris went clothes shopping in Columbia, South Carolina — an early primary state.  Reporters helped her try on clothes.  Seriously.

Why some African Americans are questioning Kamala Harris's blackness.  Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) is running to become the first black female president.  But in the early days of the campaign, she's had to answer questions about the "legitimacy" of her "blackness." [...] Harris has had some different life experiences than many black Americans.  Her father is a Jamaican immigrant; her mother is a Tamil Indian immigrant.  Her husband is a white man from New York.  While she was born in Oakland — a city with a rich history of African American activism — Harris spent her early childhood in Berkeley, Calif., and worshiped at a Hindu temple in addition to attending black Baptist services.  She attended high school in Montreal before returning to the United States for college at Howard University, a historically black college.

Kamala Harris Packed California Prisons for Peddling Pot.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) admitted in an interview this week to using marijuana, an act that landed thousands in prison while she was California's Attorney General and opposed legalization of the drug.  The drug use admission to the "Breakfast Club" came as part of Harris' attempt to erase the reputation she earned as a California prosecutor.  She is now calling for legalizing marijuana as a first step to end the War on Drugs, but opposed marijuana legalization during both her 2010 campaign for Attorney General and 2014 re-election campaign, when she notably lost support from the marijuana industry after she laughed at her Republican opponent for supporting legalization.  Under Harris's six-year tenure, hundreds were sent to state prisons for marijuana-related offenses, crime records show.

The Woman Behind the Kamala Harris Presidential Campaign Is Ann Richards's Granddaughter.  California Senator Kamala Harris had what many consider a boffo kickoff last week for her Democratic presidential campaign — a huge rally in Oakland, the most widely viewed CNN candidate town hall ever, and kudos from pundits.  While Harris was everything her handlers could hope for — poised, polished, prepared — there's always someone behind that kind of success, someone who helped plan and pull together the events, a strategist with a steely vision.  In this case, it was a Texan with a political pedigree:  Lily Adams, the 31-year-old granddaughter of Texas icon and former Governor Ann Richards, and daughter of former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards.

Mainstream Media Working Hard to Shore up Kamala Harris — is She the Female Obama?  It seems like virtually every major Democratic politician in the entire country is at least considering running for president, and a bunch of them have already officially entered the race, so why is the mainstream media pushing Kamala Harris so hard? [...] She has been dubbed "the next Obama" or the "female Obama" by many on the left, and just like we witnessed in 2008, the mainstream media can't help but gush about how wonderful she is.

Yes, but there's already a female Obama.

Harris: No Reason to Have Assault Weapons in a Civil Society.  During a CNN-sponsored town hall in Iowa Monday night, Sen. Kamala Harris (D., Calif.) said there is "no reason" to have assault weapons in a civil society.  "We have got to have smart gun safety laws in this country, and we've got to stop buying this false choice.  You can be in favor of the Second Amendment and also understand that there is no reason in a civil society that we have assault weapons around communities that can kill babies and police officers," Harris said.  Harris, one of the many Democrats running in the 2020 presidential primary, held a town hall in Iowa where a pastor asked what she would do to tackle gun violence.

Kamala Harris Sounds a Lot Like an Authoritarian.  It wouldn't be fair to accuse presidential hopeful Kamala Harris of supporting state control over the means of all production.  To this point, the junior senator from California is focused only on the energy, health care, auto manufacturing and education sectors.  Good candidates prioritize.  In this age of hyperbole, I sometimes worry about overusing words such as "socialist" and "authoritarian."  Yet if we accept that an authoritarian is a person who favors or enforces strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom, I'm not sure how anyone watching Harris' campaign kickoff this week could maintain that her policy positions do not fit that description.  For starters, here are some of the things that Harris believes the state can ban at the expense of your personal freedom:  private health insurance, your car, affordable energy, political speech, your guns and for-profit colleges.  Of course, the media, complicit in normalizing these hard-left positions over the past decade, treat her agenda as the centrist option for voters.

Kamala Harris Wants to Be Your President!  She Thinks ICE Is the KKK.  Kamala Harris compared ICE to the KKK during a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing to consider the nomination of Ronald Vitiello to be the new director of ICE.  He has been serving as the Acting Director.  Vitiello had once referred to the Democratic Party as "liberalcratic" or "NeoKlanist" and Kamala brought that up to humiliate him.  He explained it was wrong to make those comments and he was sorry he offended people.  He wasn't referring to the KKK, he explained.  Kamala didn't care since she was leading up to something quite different.  The presidential hopeful wanted to make a comparison between ICE and the KKK.

Harris and progressives are pitching Medicare-for-all.  Will she or won't she?  Is Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) really going to run on Medicare-for-all the hard way — not as a buy-in for people who want to, but as a ban on private insurance?  On Monday [1/28/2019], when Harris sat down for a CNN town hall discussion, the answer seemed to be yes, she's doing the Full Bernie.  On Tuesday there were rumors she'd walked it back.  And by Wednesday, maybe the walkback was itself being walked back?

"The Next Obama"? Why Is The Mainstream Media Working So Hard To Promote Kamala Harris?  It seems like virtually every major Democratic politician in the entire country is at least considering running for president, and a bunch of them have already officially entered the race, so why is the mainstream media pushing Kamala Harris so hard?  According to Real Clear Politics, Kamala Harris has not gotten more than single-digit support in any of the 11 major polls for the Democratic nomination that have been conducted so far.  And at this point, her average of just 5.0 percent support in those polls puts her in fourth place in this race.  But if you listen to the mainstream media, they are constantly using terms such as "leading contender" and "frontrunner" to describe her.  In recent days she has been getting more media attention than all of the other declared Democratic candidates combined, and that makes one wonder what is really going on behind the scenes.

Willie Brown says Kamala Harris threatened him with indictment after their affair that helped launch her political career.  A week after Sen. Kamala Harris announce that she was running for president, on a weekend when the California Democrat held a big rally in her hometown of Oakland, the former mayor of San Francisco, Willie Brown, confessed that Harris was once his mistress.  Brown, 84, also stated that he used his influence to essentially launch her political career.  In a weekly column Brown does for the San Francisco Chronicle that was focused on Harris' presidential run, he spoke of an extramarital affair he said he had with Harris.

Kamala's town hall notes:  I'll take away your doctor, your guns, your wealth, your free market, your wall.  Any questions?  Instead of moderating her political positions going into the 2020 presidential election so that she can appeal to more Americans, Democrat candidate Sen. Kamala Harris has chosen to go full left-wing.  During a CNN town hall Monday evening [1/28/2019], the California congresswoman endorsed plans to eliminate the fossil fuel industry and the private healthcare market.  All that in just one night.

Kamala Harris Walks Back Call to Eliminate Private Health Insurance.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), 2020 presidential candidate, walked back her call for eliminating private health insurance and replacing it with a single-payer, government-run "Medicare for All" program less than 24 hours after she made her inflammatory remarks.  Harris inflamed controversy on Monday night during a CNN town hall in which she suggested that she would eliminate private health insurance for millions of Americans and replace it with a "Medicare for All" socialized medicine program.

Kamala Harris' plan to eliminate private insurance.  California Sen. Kamala Harris — who has announced her candidacy for the 2020 presidential election — voiced support for a Medicare-for-all system that would potentially eliminate the entire private insurance market.  A Medicare-for-all system would extend coverage of the government-run program — which currently only covers the elderly — to everyone.

Flipping, flopping, backtracking:  Kamala Harris just isn't ready for prime time.  Just one day after she formally announced her presidential bid in Oakland to big crowds and applause, Kamala Harris is already on her back foot, flip-flopping on a major campaign stance right out the gate.  Monday, she said this, causing a lot of murmuring among Democrats who distanced themselves from her sweeping pie-in-the-sky proposals.

Kamala Harris vows to get rid of private health care plans: 'Let's eliminate all of that.  Let's move on'.  California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris, speaking during a town hall Monday night [1/28/2019], vowed to eliminate all private health care insurance for approximately 150 million Americans if she is elected president.  Asked by CNN host Jake Tapper if people who like their current health care insurance could keep it under Harris' "Medicare for All" plan, Harris indicated they could not — but that, in turn, they would experience health care without any delays.  Her statements appeared to be a full-throated call for single-payer health insurance, as opposed to merely expanding Medicare, and a dramatic embrace of the kind of proposals advocated by Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Kamala Harris Was Right About Medicare for All (And That's Why It Won't Work).  Sen. Kamala Harris committed a most unusual gaffe at her CNN town hall the other night — not by misspeaking about one of her central policy proposals, but describing it accurately.  Asked on Monday night if the "Medicare for all" plan that she's co-sponsoring with Sen. Bernie Sanders eliminates private health insurance, she said that it most certainly does.  Citing insurance company paperwork and delays, she declared, "Let's eliminate all of that.  Let's move on."

Democrats distance themselves from Harris' call to eliminate private health plans.  The emerging 2020 presidential campaign has deepened the Democratic party's divide over how the government should cover all Americans, further exposing the differences between those who want a total overhaul of the health care system and those who prefer a more incremental approach to fix it.  Sen. Kamala Harris of California renewed the party's debate over single-payer health care in a CNN town hall Monday [1/28/2019], saying she's willing to end private insurance, which more than 170 million Americans use.  "We need to have Medicare-for-all," said Harris.  "Who of us has not had that situation, where you've got to wait for approval and the doctor says well, 'I don't know if your insurance company is going to cover this.'  Let's eliminate all of that.  Let's move on."

Kamala Harris's Identity Ticket.  Now that first-term Senator Kamala Harris has formally announced for the presidency in 2020, she has to be considered the odds-on favorite to win the Democrat nomination.  This stems not from anything in Harris's relatively slight résumé, other than her "identity" and a hard-left stand on most issues.  Harris checks almost all the critical boxes.  Barring a particularly toxic skeleton in the closet or a major campaign error, she will likely end up President Trump's opponent in 2020.  Harris identifies as both an African-American (her father is Jamaican) and Indian-American (her mother hails from the subcontinent.)  Being half Native American and gay would be a bit better, but among the current crop of possible Democrat candidates, none identify better as far as Democrats are concerned.

Willie Brown admits it:  Kamala Harris slept her way to the top.  Kamala Harris, that vaunted self-righteous feminist candidate who's using her 'year of the woman' chops to challenge President Trump in 2020, has a little problem:  She slept her way to the top.  You know, the mistress thing, not exactly moving on up based on hard work or merit, that little advantage of good looks (President Obama called her the 'best-looking' state attorney general), employed to their optimal practical use.  Her political patron, former lawyer to pimps, Mayor of San Francisco, and State Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, admitted he helped her get her political start, writing in his bloggy San Francisco Chronicle column: [...]

Kamala Harris Announces She's Running for President.  Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) officially announced her candidacy for President of the United States on Monday, joining what is shaping up to be a crowded fray in the double digits. [...] Harris, who is the second black woman to serve in the Senate, announced her bid on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, signaling she will make civil rights a focal point of her campaign.

Sen. Kamala Harris announces 2020 presidential bid.  Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., announced on Monday [1/21/2019] that she will run for president in 2020, becoming the third senator since December to enter what is likely to be a crowded Democratic primary field.

Seven Key Facts About Democrats' Top 2020 Contender.  [#1] Kamala Harris's career received a boost from a patronage job in dubious circumstances.  In 1994, then-outgoing Speaker of the California State Assembly Willie Brown (D-San Francisco) appointed Harris to a state board with a $72,000 salary.  The Los Angeles Times reported:  "Harris, a former deputy district attorney in Alameda County, was described by several people at the Capitol as Brown's girlfriend." (Brown was married but separated.) [...] [#3] Kamala Harris was accused of using her state office to attack political enemies and reward friends.  Harris was sued by conservative groups for forcing them to disclose donor information that the IRS allows them to keep confidential.  She was also sued by a healthcare company that claimed she imposed undue restrictions when it tried to buy another company because she wanted to help her ally, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).

The Left decides Kamala Harris is a cop — but she's running anyways.  Any Democrat seeking to unseat President Trump will have to achieve at least one of the following: mobilize the base to achieve Obama-level turnout and enthuse the Left, or successfully splinter off ideological agnostics and the suburbs that defected from the GOP in the midterm elections.  Candidates like Julian Castro or Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., will probably focus on the former, while Sens. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, or Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., would emphasize the latter.  But most candidates will likely require a blend of both to beat Trump.  This is where Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., will have a problem.

Kamala Harris' record as 'progressive prosecutor' facing new scrutiny as she eyes 2020 run.  As speculation grows over U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris's presidential aspirations, the California Democrat's record as a prosecutor and state attorney general are attracting new scrutiny.  The perception that Harris, 54, acted as a "progressive prosecutor" during her tenure as the district attorney of San Francisco and then California's attorney general contradict her actions, a University of San Francisco associate law professor argues in an op-ed piece.  "Time after time, when progressives urged her to embrace criminal justice reforms as a district attorney and then the state's attorney general, Ms. Harris opposed them or stayed silent," Lara Bazelon writes in the New York Times.

Twenty Things You Probably Didn't Know about Kamala Harris.  [#6] In her first speech on the Senate floor, Harris declared, "An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal."  She later avowed the belief that illegal immigration is "a civil violation, not a crime."  This classification applies to only a portion of those in the country without permission.  First, entering the country illegally has criminal penalties.  Overstaying a visa is considered a civil violation, not a criminal one, with deportation as the appropriate penalty.  But reentry without permission after deportation is a crime, as is, in most cases, working in the United States without legal residency, since it almost always involves some falsification of documents or lying on work forms under penalty of perjury.

What to Expect from a Kamala Harris Presidency.  Democrats have always had schizophrenia when it comes to candidates from poor upbringings.  On the one hand, they need such people to run for office and appeal to voters from poor upbringings.  On the other hand, incredibly wealthy people like Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein still run the Democratic Party.  Few survive the Scylla and Charybdis of identity politics.  You have to show that you are part of an oppressed group and that the oppressor groups can trust you with their support and not get burned.  Harris dances this line perfectly.  She went to Howard University for her undergraduate work, guaranteeing her bona fides in the black community.  She plays to a key donor class, LGBTs, because of her history as California attorney general.

Pocahontas and Krazy Kamala shamelessly pander for Nutroots support.  The "Netroots," derisively — and accurately — called the "Nutroots" by some, is a group of hard-left activists who provide the ready foot soldiers when the left goes to electoral war.  So would-be 2020 Democratic presidential candidates appeared before them, each trying to appear more insanely left-wing than the others, in an attempt to curry favor with the certifiably politically insane.  Most prominent among them was Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Caucasian-American pretending to be an Indian-American, and Senator Kamala Harris, an Indian-American who prefers to emphasize being African-American.  Senator Cory Booker was also there, almost as an afterthought, probably for comic relief.

Deserve?  Based on what?
Sen. Kamala Harris:  Black women deserve bigger role in Democratic politics.  Sen. Kamala Harris said Friday black women deserve to have a bigger voice in the upper echelons of the Democratic Party and launched a preemptive strike against those that might try to criticize her vision as "identity politics."  Mrs. Harris, the daughter of a Jamaican father and Indian mother, is thought to be laying the groundwork for a presidential run in 2020 and told liberal activists gathered in New Orleans for the annual Netroots Nation conference that the Democratic Party must become more diverse.
